GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 592027
Mouse Back/Forward Buttons Do Nothing
Last modified: 2009-08-17 03:24:56 UTC
Some mice have an extra set of buttons on the side. In most browser-type programs, these buttons allow the user to navigate forward and back through the location cache (as seen in Firefox). In Nautilus, these buttons do nothing. I propose the behavior should be changed, so that they will act like they do in other programs.
It has been fixed in HEAD. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 314800 ***
