open nautilus and press right arrow key instead of bringing focus to the icons the focus is on the toolbar.

I can confirm, this is quite annoying.
Change the status to NEW
Comment 2 Stefano Teso 2010-02-09 13:32:20 UTC 
Confirming. The change happened at the transition between 2.28 and 2.29, possibly due to the toolbar and split view work. Hope this gets fixed soon, it is _very_ annoying.

I tracked this down to 
http://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=4efd42312584b46f248e2839582a87776a7baebe

If I understand the message correctly, this is to avoid the right pane getting the focus on upon starting split view mode.

Originally, I actually moved the focus to the right side on purpose, with the logic being "focus that new thing that I just actively requested". I don't have a strong oppinion about it though.
