[Bug 605138] Re: Inconsistency in the ways in which the seek functionality is implemented in Totem

 

As mentioned upstream this in intended functionality.

>From the FAQ:

Q: Why does seeking with the keyboard keys (Left and Right arrow) in Totem not seek the same amount of time in either direction?
A: This is on purpose. To find a particular point in a film, most people will seek forward and then realise that they've gone too far. Seeking back, if it used the same amount of time, would mean going back to where they last seeked from. You can experiment with pressing Ctrl or Shift along with the arrows to seek further, or closer (respectively).
