Bug Description

Steps to Reproduce:

1.) open Nautilus
2.) press TAB and notice that the focus (i.e., orange highlight) lands on "Devices" in the sidepane
3.) try to navigate the sidepane by using the up/down keys = nothing happens (the orange highlight stays on "Devices"

The sidepane cannot be navigated by using the up/down keys until after the user uses the mouse to click on an item in the sidepane.

I've attached a screenshot showing how the orange-highlight is trapped on "Devices"
