In the previous versions of gedit, I was able to open the file directly by entering the full path of file in open window dialog box. But now, I have to browse to the folder manually before I can open the file. Is there a way to enable the full path functionality?

I found the answer. When the open file dialog box is open, pressing Ctrl+L opens the Enter Location or URL field in which you can enter the full file path to open the said file directly.
