But this isn't a workaround! I add to my checkboxes in a document over time. Previously I could just hit return and another checkbox would be created (without a checklist). This is the functionality we want back
The trouble with the space [] hack is that you can't hit return to get a checkbox on the next line, as you could before. Plus the old keyboard shortcut for a checkbox is no longer operable (ctrl+cmd+T)
I too find this incredibly frustrating. I just want to hit return and have another checkbox, not a checklist where things get crossed out when they've been ticked
