Problem/Motivation

When using Webform 6.2.9 and Client Side Validation 4.1.0 checkbox questions (checkbox and checkbox other), if I leave the question blank, it forces me to check the first checkbox in order to continue. If I select any checkbox other than the first, it continues to flag the question as an error. See video:

Steps to reproduce

1. Install and configure webform
2. Install and configure client side validation for webform.
3. Make question that contains checkboxes OR checkboxes other.
4. Leave the checkbox or checkbox other question blank.
5. Select every option other than the first.

Is this bug reproducible with Webform alone?

When webform alone is used with checkbox or checkbox other, it says "Please check this box if you want to proceed" referring to the first checkbox. However, if I select any box, I can continue.

The error message positioning issue I can't reproduce. It might be custom theme and element settings related.

Screen shot

Attached is my test webform.

I improved the client-side validation to remove the red border from the unchecked checkbox.
