Displayed numbers of changes and form fields... how to hide?

For a few months now, when I edit a PDF document (typically redlines), Acrobat has been tagging each change with a number, in the order the changes are made.  The tag is a small number inside of a square.  Although annoying, I was able to large ignore these numbers (which are really annoying when you zoom out).  Today these tags are started showing up in forms, with each form field numbered in the order which they were created.  For a busy form, this is VERY intrusive.

Is there any way to disable or hide these numbers in either/both cases?  I've tried searching, but I'm not entirely sure what to search for.

TIA

Try this: In Form Edit mode, right click anywhere on the page and tick-off "Show Tab Numbers" if it's selected.

I've tried that, it had no effect.  It seems to be some kind of "content order".  The numbers show up on form fields (most... no all, strangely enough), text boxes, highlights, redlines, signatures, etc. It really makes reviewing a pain.  Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Very strange. What exact version of Acrobat are you using?
