"<" and ">" character do not show up correctly in selection box

I have the following xforms snippet:

<xforms:select1 model="F_BASELINE" ref="/CRF/IG_DH/I_DRINKING">
<xforms:label>Number of alcoholic drinks per day</xforms:label>
<xforms:item>
<xforms:label>&lt; 1</xforms:label>
<xforms:value>&lt; 1</xforms:value>
</xforms:item>
<xforms:item>
<xforms:label>1-2</xforms:label>
<xforms:value>1-2</xforms:value>
</xforms:item>
<xforms:item>
<xforms:label>&gt; 2</xforms:label>
<xforms:value>&gt; 2</xforms:value>
</xforms:item>
</xforms:select1>

In the selection box on the screen (Formsplayer 14.3.1037), the &lt; and &gt; entities are not correctly translated into the "<" and ">" characters, so I see them listed as is given in the snippet.
I noticed that for an xforms:input, if the data is taken from the instance, the entities are correctly translated.

With best regards,
