Description

The selection can be done by clicking on the role but not on the selection input box itself.

config:

        selection: true,
        multiSelect: false,

But when multiSelect is true, we can check off the box itself to have it indicated as selected. This has been tested on Chrome, Firefox and Safari latest versions. Thanks for your help.

Research direction
The issue reports that in single selection mode, clicking on the selection checkbox does not toggle the selection, while clicking on the row works. In contrast, multiSelect mode allows clicking the checkbox. The fix likely resides in the event binding for the checkbox input. Examine the click event handlers in the selection logic (e.g., in bootgrid.js). Compare the code paths for single and multi selection to identify why the checkbox click is not handled in single mode. Look for any conditional checks that might skip the checkbox event when multiSelect is false. The maintainers did not respond, but comments indicate this is a known behavior. Implementing a fix would involve ensuring the checkbox click triggers the same selection toggle as clicking the role.
