In a views handler, create an option, type checkbox, that has "remove" in it's name.

This CSS rule gets executed:

[class*="form-type-checkbox"][class*="remove"] {
    display: none;
}

And the checkbox never gets displayed, leaving you scratching your head.

This is really possible with css? Interesting ...

The problem is only existant for the preview, right?
Sadly it's not that easy to find a good css selector, especially for the no-js case.

Admin only (it's in the views-admin css file). I got it for a checkbox in the VBO field settings...

Sadly, I have no idea what it's actually used for. Knowing that would help me suggest an improvement...

When I define an action with 'remove' in it, the action doesn't appear in VBO (although it is there in the html).

Does this css rule is actually correct? I can't find a remove class in the code

λ  views git:(7.x-3.x) ✗ grep "remove" . -rn | grep "class"
./css/views-admin.theme.css:208:[class*="form-type-checkbox"][class*="remove"] {
./includes/admin.inc:2930:        '#attributes' => array('class' => array('views-remove-checkbox')),

I have no idea how to continue on this issue. For me it's kind of dangerous to remove it. what are there checkboxes which should be hidden. Anyone has a clue?

If noone has an idea, we should just remove it and see who complains :)

As far as I can see both from your grep and from my search, the checkbox that needs to be hidden (because its functionality is handled by JS when the "Remove' button is clicked) always has a class "views-remove-checkbox"

So let's just replace

[class*="form-type-checkbox"][class*="remove"] {
    display: none;
}

with

.views-remove-checkbox {
    display: none;
}

and see what happens :)

I ran into this issue yesterday with Views 7.x-3.8
Nevermind. The issue was caused by Rubik theme's views css.
