Amiad posted a picture demonstrating the problem
The Back / Forward buttons are facing each other instead of the opposite direction
The most clever fix for that would be exchanging them.

Amiad also claims that the problem exist in other GNOME products (could be due to usage of stock buttons).

Kind regards,
Yaron Shahrabani.

-> gtk+

Nautilus uses GTK stock items for back/forward, so this seems a GTK+ bug in handling RTL environments for such stock actions.
Comment 3 Karl Tomlinson 2011-02-07 10:51:12 UTC 
This would be a regression from bug 626474, also affecting GTK 2.22.x.

Hi,

I believe this bug still exists in gtk+ 3.2.0. In Ubuntu 11.10, nautilus still shows the back and forward buttons in reverse when using a Hebrew locale.
Comment 6 Amiad 2012-09-19 09:30:53 UTC 
The bug happen in gtk+ 3 again.

I can reproduce this with ephy with ar_SA using master, reopening.
Comment 8 Yosef Or Boczko 2013-09-29 11:05:07 UTC 
I fixed this manually in each application in GNOME,
by RTL variations of the icons (from gnome-icon-theme-symbolic).

Just need to add a document about this,
in gtk_image_new_from_icon_name() and
in gtk_button_new_from_icon_name() and
in the set functions of the properties image-button.

Now is already fixed, closed.
