Unexpected behavior of checkbox with help text

Question

Hi everyone.
I'm using a checkbox to achieve a yes/no user input and I've noticed something strange. Whenever the user clicks on the help text (label) associated with the checkbox, the help text pops up and the checkbox changes state.
For example, if the checkbox is unchecked, if the user clicks on the label / help text, when they close the popup, the box is checked.
It's not the end of the world or anything, but could be confusing for end users and so is undesirable. Is this a known issue? Maybe something that could be changed in a future release?
regards,
Kieran

Change this -
<div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; width:296px;
to this -
<div id="Layer1" style="position:relative; width:296px;
and reposition the div.
