I understand the rationale of  "internationalizing" Legacy; the company has 
to grow its customer base and is  wise to do so.  However, that effort has 
created an unintentional side  effect, namely, the invisible hot spots by which 
one can unknowingly change an  attribute.

It is true that various Windows applications have labels as  part of the hot 
spot.  However, I suspect those label hot spots tend to be  limited to the 
visible label field.  The problem Legacy now has is that  those label hot spots 
can be larger that the visible label.  It appears the  programmers have to 
decided to maximize the label hot spot, visible or not, to  accomodate how 
various 
languages spell  a word such as "private."   And, therein lies the problem.

I would suggest that if it is necessary to  have a standard field length for 
a label that is larger that the visible,  character length of the label, then 
the label should not be a hot spot.   The label field and the check box/radio 
button should be separate fields with  only the latter a hot spot.
