I am going to withdraw this bug.
I just realized that the left and right arrows are used to show the
beginning or ending of the path, respectively, when the path is too long
to fit in the horizontal space of the Nautilus header bar.
When the full path doesn't fit:
- Clicking the left arrow displays the previous parent directories. The user
can click multiple times until the root directory appears. At that point, the
left arrow button becomes inactive.
- Clicking the right arrow displays the next directories. The user can click
multiple times until the child directory appears. At that point, the right
arrow button becomes inactive.
- The left and right buttons are both inactive whenever the breadcrumbs can
show the full path to the current folder.

Title:
nautilus breadcrumbs left and right arrows serve no purpose
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
There is a left arrow and a right arrow in the Nautilus breadcrumbs in the
CSD.
Both the left arrow and the right arrow are always show, even if there is no
parent or child directory to navigate to. Clicking on these arrows has no
effect.
CASE 1: Left Arrow
1. Open Nautilus
2. Navigate to the root directory (press CTRL-L, type "/" and press enter).
3. Notice the left arrow is shown, it appears inactive, and nothing happens
when you click on it.
CASE 2: Right Arrow
1. Open Nautilus
2. Navigate to your home directory (click "Home" in the left panel).
3. Notice the right arrow is shown, it appears inactive, and nothing happens
when you click on it.
4. Click on a directory, for example "Documents"
5. Nautilus shows the contents of the new directory, and appends the
directory name to the breadcrumbs.
6. Click on "Home" in the breadcrumbs.
7. Notice the right arrow is shown, it appears inactive, and nothing happens
when you click on it.
Clicking the right arrow does not take you to the next directory in the
breadcrumbs.
SUGGESTED BEHAVIOR:
Clicking on the left arrow should take the user to the previous directory in
the breadcrumbs (the directory path).
Clicking on the right arrow should take the user to the next directory in the
breadcrumbs.
ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION:
Remove the arrows, since they do not provide any functionality and are
misleading to the user.
