The caret half of the Show comments and Show revisions buttons was a 10px glyph in the dim grey, hard to aim at and easy to miss, though the menu it opens is the half of that control used most: there it is 16px scaled past its box, in the text colour, and sits against the label rather than at the button's far edge. Each half now answers its own hover a step past the wrapper's tint, so the pointer says which of the two it would hit.
