Description of the issue
In FM 12, when a field is set as a popup menu, a down arrow (for the menu) is shown. There is not an option to turn the arrow off, as there is when a drop-down list (eg. show / hide arrow).
Now, my layouts, which rely on many, many, many, popup menus all are showing down arrows, making the over-all look unacceptably busy.
In previous versions of FM, a popup menu would not show an arrow.
There should be a show/hide arrow option for popup menus.
Select the pop up menu formatted field and use the control near the top of the Inspector's appearance tab to remove all formatting. This will remove the arrow. It also removes other appearance settings such as rounded corners so you may want to work with one such field until you've put back any missing appearance settings and then copy/paste it to each of your layouts, using the Inspector's data tab to redirect the pasted field to different TableOccurrence::Field references and different value lists.
