Bug Description

I am using Linux Mint 17.1, Cinnamon 2.4.8. Nemo is version 2.4.5.

This is something that bugs me in Nemo.

After the button "Go to parent folder" is pressed, Nemo will bring the user back to the parent folder, pressing the arrow keys will put a cursor in the address bar. It would be more user-friendly if instead the arrow keys would navigate through files. Just like it does when entering a folder.

Same thing with the button that bring the user to the previous folder (the label is "Go to the previous visited location"). Pressing this button and then trying to use the arrow keys to navigate will put a text cursor in the address bar.

If you want to see the address bar in Nemo, you have to press the button "Toggle Location Entry", else when you will press one of the button that I named above then try to use the arrow keys, nothing will happen.
