How to remove the arrow from a QCombobox popup?

Question

I have a QComboBox that shows a selection arrow by default on the left when clicked - snapshot attached below.

enter image description here

My stylesheet is as below

#define PROFILE_PAGE_COMBOBOX_CSS_ACTIVE " \
    QComboBox { \
        background:white; \
        border:1px solid gray \
    } \
    QComboBox::down-arrow { \
        image: url(:/images/profilecomboboxdropdown.png); width:15px; height: 15px; \
    } \
    QComboBox::drop-down { \
        subcontrol-origin: padding; \
        subcontrol-position: right; \
        width: 15px; \
        height: 15px; \
        border:0px; \
        padding-right:8px; \
    } \
    QComboBox QAbstractItemView { \
        border: 0px; \
        padding: 1px; \
        background-color: #ffffff; \
        color: gray; \
        selection-background-color: #ffffff; \
        selection-color: blue; \
    } \
"

this->m_CountryEdit->setStyleSheet(PROFILE_PAGE_COMBOBOX_CSS_ACTIVE);

How can I get rid of this selection arrow? I am using Qt 4.7.4 on both Mac and Windows

I have the exact same problem and I haven't found a solution to it yet — Michael Pfeuti, Jan 25 '13 at 08:31
@FrankOsterfeld: I am not knowingly setting any specific style. — S B, Jan 25 '13 at 08:37
Which version of Qt and which OS are you using? Can't reproduce this problem. Perhaps, there is other stylesheet that adds the arrow. — york.beta, Jan 27 '13 at 20:47
@york.beta - I am using Qt 4.7.4 on a Mac as well as Windows - updated the question with this info. The arrow appears on both the OSs. — S B, Jan 28 '13 at 13:49
@york.beta: No, there is not any other stylesheet interfering since I tested on a new and fresh project — S B, Jan 28 '13 at 13:50
What is version of Windows? I tested on Windows 8 and Qt 4.8. — york.beta, Jan 28 '13 at 13:56
I'll try this code on Windows 7 soon. Perhaps I couldn't reproduce this issue, because I tested it using Preview in Qt Designer, but not a test application. — york.beta, Jan 28 '13 at 14:24
Windows 7, Qt 4.7.3, compiler MS Visual Studio 2010: [screenshot](http://i.imgur.com/ReGJK5y.png) — york.beta, Jan 28 '13 at 14:44
May be this is due to css you are using, or javascript you are using. Can you write your complete css and aspx(or html) code here? — Code_Tech, Feb 01 '13 at 10:07

It's a mac-specific issue and there sseems to be several ways to live with it - make selection mark to go offscreen with stylesheet positioning - make it look less ugly by removing the border around (it's a question of removing a style that makes that border to show) - so not set 'surrent' item in combobox probably
