Yeah, that's a correct assumption when using checkboxes in separate
rows. I got the same issue, because my project uses several checkboxes
in a single line - it makes confusion, i.e.
[X] C [X] M [_] Y [_] K
looks dumb and nonsensical.
I was thinking of extending the $form->checkbox helper with an option to
alter this, but the method posted by teknoid is much much better due to
its readability and complete lack of coding needed.
"My field:" $form->checkbox(...) with label set to false works best.
