Description Colin Law 2012-08-10 14:29:38 UTC 
To replicate:
Open a folder that contains hidden folders
Hit Ctrl-H Show them
Hit the dot key on the keyboard.

What should happen:
All files containing dot should be shown

What does happen:
No files are shown.

Similarly entering part of one of the hidden filenames without the dot does not work (eg entering local should find .local)

This is a regression as earlier versions of nautilus supported this.

Running on Ubuntu Quantal Alpha.  Nautilus 1:3.5.5-0ubuntu2
