No keyboard interaction possible with checkbox component in MS Edge

[boenkemeyer]

Describe the bug

Toggling a checkbox with the spacebar does not work when using Microsoft Edge.

A regular checkbox would toggle when the control is focused and pressing the space bar. (see here: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_input_type_checkbox)

When I focus the wa-checkbox and press space, the checkbox will be highlighted, but not toggled.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to https://backers.webawesome.com/docs/components/checkbox with Microsoft Edge
2. Select any checkbox
3. Prace Space

Browser / OS

• OS: Windows 11
• Browser: Edge
• Browser version: Version 126.0.2592.68 (Official build) (64-bit)
• Screen Reader: n/a

This is working fine for me in the latest version of Edge. In fact, the component uses a native <input type="checkbox"> internally and we're not doing anything funny with key handlers, so I'm surprised you're seeing this behavior.

Do you have any browser extensions that might be causing this?

Tested on Windows 11 + Edge 126. Spacebar works for me. As @claviska , any browser extensions you have running that may be interfering?
