Field Picker Glitch

I am updating the field picker to update field options and I am getting a frustrating glitch.

I right click on a field in the field picker and select field options and it opens just fine. I make a change and then close the popup and the field picker half greys out (see attached image). If i then right click on another field and select field options I get a message telling me that I am currently modifying the database definition. In order to be able to update another field I have to quit out of filemaker and log in again which is totally untenable.

The only recent change that has been made is that I have shifted the database from a commercial provider to a locally hosted filemaker server which I am accessing remotely. Everything else is running perfectly fine.

Thanks for any help.

I can't replicate this error.

All I can suggest is to use Manage Database instead.
