8.1.48 is going to support `-Dignition.synthetica.customXml=...` system property that you can point towards a synthetica XML file, such as one containing this:

```python
<synth>
    <defaultsProperty key="Synthetica.popupRobot.enabled" type="boolean" value="false"/>
</synth>

```

which can be used to set the `Synthetica.popupRobot.enabled` property, as well as any other Synthetica UIManager property.

I'm not sure if the popup menus appearing in random places are related to this or not.
