Okay, thanks to this post by Kevin Thorne - https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/how-to-edit-player-tooltips-to-match-custom-player-text-labels - I was able to find how to edit the labels. In text labels accessible from Player, it's under "Tooltip: Next button" and "Tooltip: Previous button".  I tried to be sneaky and delete the text but this still leaves the ugly box even though no label was visible.

There really should be a way to disable or turn the player tooltips on/off from the player. A tooltip for the next/previous buttons is an unnecessary tip. I can see it being helpful if someone is using icons, but not if someone is using text labels.
