It's a new GNOME (actually, GTK+) feature, check their release notes here: http://www.gnome.org/start/2.16/notes/C/rnbackend.html Text says: "The file chooser dialog has also been improved: the location entry (previously opened by using Ctrl+L) has been integrated and the dialog as a whole remains responsive even when performing time-consuming file operations."
