fix(material/checkbox): avoid making the touch target a focus stop - #33584
Merged
Conversation
Along the same lines as angular#33558. Some screen readers detect which elements have `click` listeners and make them a focus stop, even if they're `aria-hidden`. These changes rework the checkbox so it doesn't have to rely on a `click` listener on the touch target by wrapping the `input` in the `label` instead.
