What does this change address?
Closes #1302
How does this change work?
The input inside the checkbox was previously rendered with an attribute binding,
?checked=${this.checked}. Switching to a property binding wrapped in Lit's live() directive:.checked=${live(this.checked)}will ensure it stays in sync no matter if it is clicked or changes programmatically.https://lit.dev/articles/lit-cheat-sheet/#attribute-and-property-expressions-(binding-syntax)
Additional context
Technically, just the property binding change would fix the initial bug report. Adding
live()will ensure that the element can't get out of sync if something upstream catches thechangeevent and cancels it. We set that event to be cancellable here to support links in the checkbox label, so this seemed the most complete way to ensure the checkbox remains in sync.
