Bug Description
The arrows that indicate the state of the collapsible menu in the Rhythmbox browser are on the wrong side of their respective menus. The attached screenshot shows that they are on the right on the menu, when they should be on the left for the following reasons:
1. The large space between the end of the menu name and the arrow make it unclear that there is a relationship between the two, leading to user confusion.
2. Having the arrows on the left is what user's have been trained, through their use of software, to expect. Having them on the right violates the principle of least astonishment [1].
I propose that the arrows be moved over to the left.

Comment from the developer:
"Changing the layout here probably isn't as simple as it seems, but it
definitely could be improved."
