"Back/Forward" does not work in awn file browser applet

[Bernhard]

The "Back" and "Forward" buttons do not work properly in the awn file browser applet. For example, I start from my home then go up once and there is no "Back" option there (even though it should be). If I go up again to the root system, then I still have no "Back" but I do have a "Forward" (?).

My awn is 0.3.1.

I can confirm this behavior with awn-extras built from source at bzr rev 812.

I just understood the point of this: "Back" and "Forward" here mean "Scroll Up" and "Scroll Down". But this is very confusing, since "Back" and "Forward" in a file browser ususally mean "Last Dir" and "Next Dir".
It would be nice to have the scrolling done with the mouse wheel, btw.

The back/forward buttons were replaced with a scrollbar in r1119.

Thanks for your bug report.

The applet is not maintained anymore upstream. I'm closing the bug as Won't Fix.
