Cool, thanks for verifying. Go ahead and give a "verify" to me and/or Shubham Aware though, we crave those Community Brownie Points 😅

The issue was caused by a custom font used in this environment. We changed the font to the standard “Open Sans,” and all text now aligns correctly. Thank you all for the help and input.

Thank you for your input and comparison. I think we are using a custom font, as that is the only difference I could imagine between your setup and Shubham’s. I’ll check this internally and also compare it with other colleagues.

this is Edge side-by-side with Chrome, both set to zoom at 100%, aligned so the components line up exactly, with a box drawn to allow easy comparison of the margins above/below the words in the checkbox choices relatve to the checkbox borders themselves.

Patrick Ludewig , does your site have any custom fonts configured, etc? That's the only thing I can think of (beyond browser-level settings that I don't really fathom) which could be having any effect on the rendering you're seeing.

Shubham Aware What OS and Browser are you using?

Checking in with my confirmation that it seems to behave as we should expect:

(this is in Chrome / windows 11)

{
  a!booleanCheckboxField(
    choiceLabel: "Choice 1"
  ),
  a!booleanCheckboxField(
    choiceLabel: "Choice 2"
  ),
  a!booleanCheckboxField(
    choiceLabel: "Choice 3"
  ),
  a!booleanCheckboxField(
    choiceLabel: "Choice 4"
  ),
  a!booleanCheckboxField(
    choiceLabel: "Choice 5"
  )
}

This doesn’t seem to be expected behavior. It’s not reproducible on my end across any Appian 26.3 instances. I’d recommend raising a support ticket with Appian to get this investigated further.

Tried different browsers (background: Microsoft Edge, foreground: Google Chrome) and different zoom levels, but the behavior is still the same.

Appian version: 26.3

It works perfectly.

Seems to be a browser rendering issue. Could you try using a different browser and adjusting the zoom/DPI settings?
Also, which version of Appian are you currently on?
