Hello.

I’m currently on v1.4.0.beta9 +58.

When I want to check a checkbox in the admin panel, I have to click the box twice before it’s checked. I guess that’s a bug? 😄

Best regards,  
Mathias

Confirmed here. Seems that it is registering a check mark even without showing it, because you can click the green “confirm” check and then it becomes checked.

Which browser is this, unable to make this happen on chrome / meta (does reloading the page on settings make the issue go away by magic)

This is Chrome stable (44.0.2403.155 m). Once the checkbox is clicked it will toggle correctly, until the page is refreshed.

EDIT: Also happens in MS Edge and Firefox. Discourse is at v1.4.0.beta9 +58
