Keep Checkboxes and Checklists separate CLOSED

[johnbizcharts 4]

I have use cases for both the checkbox (green X, on the Insert menu) and checklist (gray check mark plus strikethrough, on the icon bar).  

However if I add a checkbox to a line, and then hit return, the checkbox is turned into a checklist and a new checklist item is created.
Can these be kept distinct, so that hitting return at the end of a checkbox line gives a new checkbox rather than converting to a check list?

ETA: there is now an option to disable "strikethrough" on complete checklist items, which is sufficient for my needs!

This is a good request and has been asked for a few times in the forums. See this google search for a few discussions about it: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Adiscussion.evernote.com+checkbox+checklist

In the meantime, and until something can be done about it (if ever), here is my favorite way to work with checkboxes at the beginning of a line:

Thanks for the useful feedback, Boot17.

Following through some of the discussions I see that there is an option to turn off strikethrough for checklists.  That's enough to make checklists useful.
