I set up a dropbox with the file. If you don't want to copy/paste from the code I pasted above, just follow this link, download the file, go to your Everquest folder, open your "uifiles" folder, go to "default", then replace the EQUI_HotButtonWnd.xml file with the file from the link below. This file has the original formatting preserved. I would like to reiterate that either way will work though, having tested this personally (and that this is a fix only for the "default" UI, I haven't tested this with default_old or Velious).
