Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

There a couple of situations where I was unable to select any file using the keyboard arrow keys:

1. Say a folder has more than one file. Select all files except one. Delete them. Now you cannot select the remaining file with keyboard using the arrow keys. You have to do a refresh with F5 and only then you can select the file or you have to use Ctrl+Space.

2. Say a folder has only one file. You select it. Now un-select it by pressing Ctrl+Space. The file cannot be selected again by using the arrow keys.
