Description Aris Agrippas 2010-12-16 16:30:40 UTC 
The tilde character (~) isn't interpreted as /home/username anymore.

For example: 

If you type ~/Pictures you get a popup: Could not find "/home/username/~/Pictures".

It should work as it used to, ie. taking you directly to /home/username/Pictures. Dear developers, please don't amputate one of the best shortcuts in Unix and have that fixed asap.
