In your getState() you negate the value of the optionVar but then in your
commented code you treat the value as the opposite again. Is this expected?
Because it lines up potentially with the PyQt checkbox being the opposite
of the shelf menu.
Your shelf checkbox triggers a python toggle function that we can't see.
What does this do? Is it possible that if you are really only toggling the
check value in your tool that it could be out of sync with the shelf
checkbox? Ideally it would use an explicit setting of checked or not to
prevent them from being in the wrong initial conditions and always toggling
backwards.
Does your tool know about the optionVar or does it only take its cue from
the toggle request?
