Public bug reported: Currently the toolkit has no radio buttons.
As a result, developers are using checkboxes for groups of options where only one can be selected at a time. <https://launchpadlibrarian.net/187978147/new.jpg> This is misleading. Everywhere else, checking a checkbox toggles its state, whereas here special code is used to ensure it remains checked. And on every other platform, checking a checkbox doesn't uncheck another checkbox. Either the toolkit should have radio buttons, or the developer guidelines should say what to use instead. ** Affects: ubuntu-ui-toolkit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Currently the toolkit has no radio buttons.
