I've typed an address in the "location" bar, hit enter, and nothing... ;-(

That location *did* end up at the top of the directory tree, like yours
though. I simply deleted it though. You can't delete via the left-hand
pane -- is that what you tried to do ? You have to click on "\" on the left
side. Then it will show up in the right-hand window and you can delete it
from there.

As I said above, I've tried... without any luck. That was with a little bit
older version though. I haven't tried it with 4.5.30 recently.

I completely agree ! Seems so intuitive, doesn't it !
