Highlighting clickable boxes

[Heathbo]

One of the annoying things about FileMaker is, when you click on an area that doesn't have a field(just the background). An outline around all the editable fields shows up. Is there a way to turn that off?

In Layout mode, Layouts menu, Layout Setup..., uncheck [ ] Show field frames when record is active

I unchecked it. It is still showing the black dotted boxes around every editable field (boxes, radio buttons, buttons, etc).

Post your file (clone and zip it first).

I created a simple blank layout where the problem is occurring.

Ahhh, this is normal behaviour. It cannot be disabled. It's FMP showing you where the fields are.

Learn to live with it. :)
