Firefox doesn't show the "yes", nor Acrobat X, but SumatraPDF does. I
modified your definition as:

\definefield[test][check][cbox][][]

And now the "yes" doesn't appear. However, I don't know how this affects
the functionality of the form.

these symbols (esp how deafults are handles) has alwaye been a bit of a 
mess in acrobat (read: different per version) and relates to appearance 
streams and such (when a form is made in acrobat these streams get 
added, it could even be some dingbat kicking in or being vectorized or 
... seen all kind of variants) ... officially a rendering should listen 
to some keys that relate to it but this is not always the case

(part of the problem is, i think, that esp for check fields a bugs or 
behaviour  has become a feature which makes it kin dof inconsisten twith 
the rest of the widgets .. it's even worse when one uses parent / child 
across pages ... it hasn;t helped that hardly any viewer supported it 
which in turn means no feedback)

(in lmtx iu could probably generate appearance streams but i'll only do 
that when i have an application for these widgets so that i can test it)

Hi,

three years later I would like to hint to this thread again and ask if
there is hope that checkboxes will work better in Acrobat any time soon.
