Description Mikael Hallendal 2002-02-26 06:58:28 UTC 
Calum:

- Tooltip for Forward button is "Go forth in history list".  This is
gramatically perfect but very arcane use of English  :)  Suggest "Go
forward in history list", or maybe "Show next page in history list" (in
which case you'd need to change the tooltip for Back as well, to be
consistent). (3)
Comment 1 Mikael Hallendal 2002-02-26 07:50:42 UTC 
The back button tooltip should probably be changed to:
"Show previous page in history list" for consistency.
Comment 2 Gregory Merchan 2002-02-26 08:14:47 UTC 
Is it necessary to mention "list"? Unless the list can be seen by
the user and is sorted such that these buttons produce expected
changes there, that the history is a list seems an implementation
detail not needby or beneficial to the user.

(And I'm assuming that the idea of a history is familiar from
 web browsers. Otherwise, I'm not sure that's the best way to
 put it; but, I'm lost for an alternative right now.)
