breadcrumbs missing in file manager

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but I'm testing Ubuntu
13.04 alpha (which I really love overall) and I've noticed that the file
manager now has no easy way to go up a level from the home folder. In
Ubuntu 12.10, the home folder displayed the word 'Home' with a < arrow next
to it, which could be clicked to expand, displaying the full breadcrumbs
folders '/', 'home', and 'user'. In Ubuntu 13.04, this < arrow has been
removed, leaving no graphical way to navigate up a level. I can sort of
understand removing this option, as there is already a shortcut to the root
directory (labeled 'Computer'). However, removing this option has the
additional consequence of making it so that any server folder connected to
is considered a home folder, and thus also has breadcrumbs removed, making
it necessary to initiate new connections or know esoteric keyboard hotkeys
when you want to go into parent directories. I would love it if Ubuntu
13.04 reinstated an ability (whether through an 'up' arrow, persistent
breadcrumbs, or hidden breadcrumbs with a '<' arrow) to always be able to
navigate into parent directories.

Thanks!

Alfred
