Options: Checkbox, the setting/unsetting thereof.
IMO, it is safer to force a user to check a checkbox,
rather then to be able to check a line
(in particular whitespace beyond the lines text)
to effect a change.
As it was I wanted to provide focus to a dialog window,
so I clicked within "whitespace" within the dialog,
but in addition to providing focus,
I ended up toggling the setting of a particular checkbox.
