With the test extension on bug 653637 you can see that the checkboxes for boolean inline settings have an empty focus outline behind the checkbox. This is visible on Windows and Linux. See the attached screenshot.

I've seen this elsewhere too, been meaning to do something about it.

Can we ensure that the focus outline is then around the checkbox itself? We shouldn't completely hide it.

Attachment: HTML checkbox vs XUL checkbox

Interestingly our HTML checkbox has a focus rectangle around the checkbox (because they don't have labels, I guess), but our XUL checkbox has a focus rectangle around the label.

A simple workaround for the time being:

.your-checkbox .checkbox-label-box {
  display: none;
}

The severity field for this bug is relatively low, S3. However, the bug has 4 duplicates.
:mstriemer, could you consider increasing the bug severity?

The last needinfo from me was triggered in error by recent activity on the bug. I'm clearing the needinfo since this is a very old bug and I don't know if it's still relevant.
