Thanks to both of you for the info. I suspected it was an issue with the CheckBox itself, but wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something obvious.
My fix (for now) has just been to manually add my own Label (instead of using the CheckBox label) and handling mouse over the Label events, as the CheckBox itself isn't essential. If I do switch back, your suggestion of a Composite is exactly what I'll do. Thanks!
