Description Yosef Or Boczko 2014-02-25 18:23:43 UTC 
The New Tab button is moved from the end of the header bar
to the start of the headerbar:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/epiphany/commit/?id=24468cade1b54957c8ee9bcdff7345896d9ca38d

I think the right place for the new tab button is the end
of the header bar and not the start.

I'm using the first tab (and the second and maybe also the third)
for a web I never closes and never changes to something else, like
my GMail account or a playlist in YouTube.
At the end of the notebook I have many tabs which I opens and closes
all the time.

I'm using the new tab button for open a new tab, which usually
I do it immediately after closes another tab with the close
button of the tab, which usually this tab is on the end of the
notebook and not on the start.

From the commit I linked above, which is moved the new tab button
to the start of the header bar, I moved the mouse from the start of
the header bar to the end of the notebook all the time, and this very
not convenient. I think we needs to revert this commit.

I've also had a horrible time adjusting to the new location of the New Tab button. It's been easier (though still painful) to just hit the gear menu and choose New tab from the menu than to try to reorient myself to the button being on the left side of the header bar. (Would it be possible to have the version on this bug updated to 3.12 or master, since it applies to current release and is likely to languish under 3.11?)

A good approach would be: with LTR locales, the button is placed on the right; with RTL locales, the button is placed on the left.

Use terminology of start and end, so you have not a problem with RTL and LTR
(start in RTL is the right side and start in LTR is the left side).

The title of this bug said to move the new tab button from the start of the headerbar
to the end of the headerbar - it ok to RTL and to LTR too :-)

I think we make a decision about this, to leave the new tab button
in the start of the headerbar.
