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."

(look for "file chooser dialog", right above Figure 12)

Regards,

Andre
