This is inevitable at the moment, but raised as an issue at #60836.

Saw the linked issue. It probably wouldn't be as flexible, but could checkbox control do something like this to indent the text?

help={ <span="components-checkbox-control__help-text">{ helpText }</span> }
.components-checkbox-control__help {
    margin-left: calc(var(--checkbox-input-size) + #{$grid-unit-15});
}

Oh, good one! Yes that could work in this instance, with a display: inline-block to account for when the help text is long enough to wrap.

I'm not sure I understand the benefit to doing this? Feel free to push any changes :)

Good question. The point is that we shouldn't be using selectors from other components, because they aren't guaranteed to be stable. Ideally they would all be obfuscated/randomized so they aren't even available outside the original component.

I'll try it out and push the changes 👍

We can avoid reaching into BaseControl internals here by wrapping our elements in an <HStack spacing={ 0 } justify="start" alignment="top"> instead.


.components-checkbox-control__label {
// Ensure label is aligned with checkbox along X axis
line-height: var(--checkbox-input-size);

Let's move this part out of the .components-checkbox-control block to avoid unnecessary specificity.

Was this height necessary? It makes the aspect-ratio redundant.

I think we also need a flex-shrink: 0 here to prevent squishing:

It was, but moving to a HStack seems to have made it redundant :)
