This discussion got started because check boxes that weren't even visible on-screen were getting checked, so looking doesn't help.
Just how far away from where we are clicking are we supposed to look? In my case, clicking TO THE LEFT OF the "Private" check box, in order to make Legacy the active window and bring it to the foreground, causes the not-then-visible 1/8-inch "Never Married" check box TEN INCHES AWAY to get checked. When Legacy pops up full-screen, am I supposed to somehow notice that that box is now checked even though it never was? I don't know of anyone who reads the entire screen every time they click, especially when clicking in the supposedly inert background. And I certainly wouldn't expect anyone to remember if all the data on that screen was still correct.

I've never seen any other Windows based program that behaves like this for radio buttons or check boxes.
