Bug Description

Nautilus with enabled location bar (Ctrl+L), two pane view (F3) and side pane with tree view.
The unfocused location bar doesn't allow to be clicked on in order to change focus of panes or to edit for example the path.
This is possible in Natty.
Acknowledged that switching panes can also be done by F6, the mouse option should remain available as an obvious access-tool, the shortcut isn't documented prominently.

Use case.
If the two panes are full with folders and files, there is no empty area to click on.
The remaining choices to switch between the two panes are then only shortcuts or location bar.
Question #166541

Expected.
Allow unfocused location bar to be accessible again with mouse click.
