Bug Description

When working with "extra panel" a click on location bar of unfocused panel doesn't change the focus to that panel as occurred on gnome 2.3X.
It is boring, making necessary a click on the panel content before to change the folder on location bar.

in fact it works, you just have to click in the background of the panel to select this half it seems?

A click on the background of the panel really works, but a click right on the bar also should change the focus, as it used to be on Nautilus 2.3X.
Why to force the users to an extra useless click on the background?

I forgot to mention that it is also a usability issue.

right, it's a small annoyance and a valid request, it should be sent to bugzilla.gnome.org

I don't know how it used to be.
Should I manually fill it on bugzilla?

In case the pane is crowded with folders or files there is no background to click on. Bug #822063
Workaround is using F6 key.

Just a small question: Will that also be fixed for Oneiric?

Opening a low priority oneiric bug, if somebody wants to work on that I will review and sponsor the update, I don't plan to spend time backporting that fix though, the issue is minor and not a work blocker in any way, rather a small annoyance leading some users to have to do an extra click, not really an important issue for a stable update
