(In reply to Dieter from comment #1)

The specific proposal is not the main point. The point is that what we
currently tell the user is incorrect. Whatever we says happens on the left, or
to the left, or from the left etc. - gets flipped when change the direction; so
it is all about the _Start_, not the _Left_. And the same goes for the "Right"
tab.

That's why this is a bug, not an enhancement request.

But - the question of _how_ to change things would definitely benefit from a
discussion in the design meeting. My default proposal is to refer to our tabs
according to how they currently behave. But it could also be decided to change
the behavior, or to expand the set of available tabs etc. TBH, even in that
case, the immediate action to take would still be the rename, but maybe there
are possibilities I haven't considered.
