Bug Description
Binary package hint: file-roller
The back and forward buttons don't work the way they do in other applications (web browsers, nautilus,...).
Consider an archive with the following directory structure:
/
/a
/a/b
/a/c
After browsing from / to /a to /a/b, you press Back and get to /a. Browse to /a/c and press Back to /a. One would expect that pressing Back again would get you to the directory from which you first got to /a, which is /. Instead you end up in /a/b.
The attached patch corrects the behavior to match nautilus, which deletes all forward history when you browse to a new location.
