Tip Of the Day buttons with misleading labels?

In 6.30.28, the Random button was added so other navigation buttons needed to be reduced...fine, I understand...but now they are "<<" and ">>" which is most often interpreted as being "Rewind"/"Go to Start" and "Go To End", whereas "<" and ">" would be Prev & Next...

Isn't there enough room to have "<Prev" and "Next>" instead? As there isn't any reason why Previous needs to be spelled out, IMO.

Ah yes. "<" and ">" is good.

There's never enough room. Not when fonts are configurable and ideas are queueing in mind...
