Bug#226475: Odd behaviour of arrow keys when renaming in Nautilus (SID)

Package: Nautilus
Version: 2.4.1-3

If you try to rename (context menu or F2) a file in Nautilus the 
filename is marked. On pressing the left arrow key the cursor jumps to 
the end of the formerly marked filename. On pressing the right arrow key 
the cursor jumps to the beginning of the marked formerly filename.

I expected exactly the opposite behaviour. Pressing the left arrow key 
should bring me to the beginning (to the left), pressing the right arrow 
key should bring me to the end (to the right) of the filename.

Kernel is:
Linux gorgias 2.6.0-test11 #3 Mon Jan 5 00:33:19 CET 2004 i686 GNU/Linux

But also happens with a 2.4.22.

Libc6 is:
2.3.2.ds1-10
