No it's not. It's a bug. The checkboxes in that table don't have an associated
label.
Please look at that table. The row consists of:

[ ]  [x]  font1  font2

It not like the first checkbox has any relation to the selection of the row.

Now that would be an easy fix. I had a look at the UI files, but for me it
looks the same for cui/uiconfig/ui/optfontspage.ui and
cui/uiconfig/ui/optfltrembedpage.ui, if this is an easy UI file feature, then
please fix it.

I understand this, but in this case the label is associated with the checkbox.

It's totally unexpecting for a table that selecting a row toggles a checkbox,
especially since the row contains multiple checkboxes. Actually a user might
even miss the "toggle on select" behavior, which will be even more confusing
later.

This is all fine for your special case, where the row is represented by the
checkbox. It's also the same for stand alone checkboxes with label, where you
can also click the label to toggle the checkbox.

This is all unexpected and it's not needed, really. Everything is fine for you
special Autofilter case, but nevertheless your code somehow broke the font
replacement table.
