Bug Description

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 Precise LTS daily build with Unity 5.0. When I click on any of the folders in the files lens in the dash, it does open the folder in nautilus. It simply hides the dash and nothing else happens. I have attached a video to show what is happening.

I'm seeing something slightly different here.

If a folder contains other folders but no files then nothing happens.

Nautilus only opens for me when a folder contains just files or a mixture of files and folders.

Can't confirm #6
Instead:
Dash doesn't open the first positioned folder when it incl. folders and files.
Dash displays on search two of the same, it doesn't open the first positioned, it opens the second.
Dash opens a created folder 'test' on first position which incl. only folders test-1 and test-2.
Dash doesn't find a folder (which was opened before in nautilus) when it isn't bookmarked in nautilus.
The folder is named 'Sicherungen', when searching 'sich' it finds 'testbackup' instead.
Dash displays same folders twice or certain ones never when filter is 'all'.

Obviously depends on time of installation. #7 was installed four days ago on desktop-pc.
This one here on laptop was an alpha-1 installation and none of tested folders open. Also created 'test' folder incl. empty test-1 and test-2 folders, in contrary of #7 dash doesn't localize them.

I experience the same bug, except I can see two "Téléchargement" ("Downloads") folders.

The first one in the list is working as expected (it opens Nautilus), but the second one does nothing but close the dash.

I haven't re-installed Unity or reset Zeitgeist since I upgraded from Ubuntu 11.10, with alpha 1.
