What needs to be fixed
Why this should be fixed
the checkmark in the choices list has a white background, IMO it needs to be transparent? it looks like a mistake there.
And the checkmark suggest the user that it can be unchecked too, but that does not work.
How would you fix it
transparent background and possibility to uncheck in the dropdown
Side Effects expected

The background makes it look like a button

I remember now, the background was added to prevent checkbox overlapping with veeeeery long text (like 1 or few huge German word). With background the checkmark always will be clearly visible even if there a text under.
When you want to remove the background you have to test that case.

The checkmark is purely cosmetic - it has no functionality so it cant be "unchecked"
I have however created a PR to remove the background which is not necessary and causes the problem you indicates See #47226
