In deed it's got very... interesting:

1) I right click the Home/Files icon on Launcher and click Documents
(which is a bookmark for "/home/sadi/Documents" which is simply a
symbolic link to folder named Documents on my NTFS partition), and I
have the Home (nautilus) icon displayed as active.

2) I right click the Home/Files icon again and this time click a
quicklist item for a subfolder of Documents but this time entered as
"/media/sadi/Data/Documents/Archive", and then an icon for the Data
partition appears below the "Show Desktop" icon with nautilus window
having two tabs -- thanks to a script to prevent opening a new window)
and Home icon is no longer displayed as active.

3) I click the Trash icon, and a new nautilus window opens with the
Trash icon at the very bottom displayed as active (which is the only
good thing in this new design it seems)

4) I  right click the Home/Files icon once again and this time click a
quicklist item for a subfolder under home folder (e.g.
"~/.local/share/applications"); suddenly nautilus surrenders and decides
to merge all in one window, with only the Home/Folder icon displayed as
active... but wait, the Trash contents is displayed nowhere... So I have
to click the Trash icon again, and finally everything (almost) looks
more sensible: Trash icon is shown active, and Home/Files icon is shown
active, with 3 tabs for 3 folders on 2 partitions (as long as you don't
attempt to open a folder on a 3rd partition ;-)

I don't think this issue can be ignored at all although I'm not sure who
should solve it: Gnome or Ubuntu developers?
