[Bug] "Cookie" prevents the change of status of a sub checklist.

[StefanoRausch]

I noticed that if you have the following checklist:

This is a test: (%)

- [/] item 1 (2/3)
    - [x] item 1.1
    - [x] item 1.2 (1/2)
        - [x] item 1.2.1
        - [ ] item 1.2.2
    - [ ] item 1.3 (100%)
        - [x] test
- [x] item 2

one cannot change the status of -[x] item 1.2 and -[ ] item 1.3.

It seems that if one works with deeper checklist structures the "cookie" prevents the change of status. All is good if the "cookie" is not present.

Thanks for reporting the bug!

This seems to affect only updating via Live Preview. Triggering the command manually seems to work correctly.

I did some testing and it seems that Obsidian replaces the checkbox HTML element if it belongs to a nested list.

The Obsidian tasks plugin has a workaround for a possibly related issue: /~https://github.com/obsidian-tasks-group/obsidian-tasks/blob/7ca5c1163ddaec4ea8c5bd9c22a18ef2f3273d33/src/Obsidian/LivePreviewExtension.ts#L93-L104.

The fix is not working out of the box unfortunately and it's not immediate to me why. I'll dig deeper in the following days.
