Description Fredrik L 2011-11-21 20:44:37 UTC 
Hi,

I may have found a bug, or maybe this is the way the function is designed to work.

To reproduce this just do the following:

1. Open a Nautilus window.
2. Start "Search" by immediately type "something".
3. IF you do a "typo" and want to remove what you just typed - hit "Backspace".

The result from this will not be that one character will be removed from your current search string, rather you will do a "cd .." in the directory tree, with the same search string in the search-box.

I am running Ubuntu 11.10 64bit with Gnome Shell.

If you need any other info, please let me know.

Best Regard
Fredrik Leufkens
