Binary package hint: nautilus
If I hit e.g. CTRL+L to edit the location bar for a nautilus window, I expect key bindings to be eaten by that widget. I've just managed to delete a file by rapidly selecting a range of text within the location window, then pressing the delete key to delete the text. The delete key was interpreted as "delete the currently selected file" rather than "delete the currently selected text". To make matters worse, I had selected the text using keyboard shortcuts - that is, holding down shift and pressing arrow keys. I had not lifted shift, so I in fact hit "shift-delete" followed by enter, rather rapidly, perma-deleting a file by accident.

As per the report my system is almost similar to your machine config. I am unable to reproduce this issue, after trying multiple scenarios. Can you try to reproduce this again. May be if we can reproduce this again it will help tracing the actual problem. Thanks again..
