Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

I use Hebrew locale.
I upgrade to ubuntu 10.10 and then I saw that icons on forward/back is reversed. The back icon point to left and forward icon point to right (see screenshot). In Hebrew its must to point conversely.

In ubuntu 10.04 they pointed correctly.

This bug also happens on oneiric.

Hi,

Could someone reopen this bug? It is not fixed in oneiric. I believe there is some bug in gtk handling of stock icons's right-to-left variants, since it seems that nautilus is asking for the GTK_STOCK_GO_BACK and GTK_STOCK_GO_FORWARD, which should have support for RTL variants, and the Humanity icon theme does contain links for these variants (gtk-go-back-rtl and so on).

Looking further into this bug, it seems that it does have something to do with the icon theme. When using the gnome icon theme, the buttons are rendered correctly.

See also bug #842906. Not marking as dup as we need to specifically make sure that both areas of the interface are covered.

summary: - reversed icons on forward/back buttons in Hebrew locale
+ Reversed (swapped) icons on forward/back buttons in RTL locales

Stock GNOME icon theme is 'Adwaita' which is in the 'gnome-themes-standard' package (not installed by default). However, in theory the STOCK icon request should ultimately end up at eg:

  /usr/share/icons/Humanity/actions/22/gtk-go-forward-rtl.svg

which would seem to exist.

Here's an updated screenshot of Nautilus under precise, using a Hebrew locale with the Ambiance theme.

Hi Andrea,

Thanks for attending to this bug. I'm wondering if you can direct us to the cause of this bug, if it is not in light-themes. I'd like to note that it doesn't occur in Precise when using the Adwaita theme, but does occur when choosing Ambiance or Radiance.

Regards,
Haggai
