Ah, ok... Sorry I misunderstood that then.
So, the issue is on the quicklist drawing function, and the issue is happening also when a quicklist item has a "<" inside.
This should be definitely fixed at that level, otherwise also the application quicklist will suffer for it.
I'll open another bug for that and I'll work on it, so please, remove the workaround from your code :)
