Task list checkbox and icon usage

[equaeghe]

In the task list there is a control that looks like a checkbox but acts like a radio-button toggle. That is a confusing UI choice. Moreover, the toggle modifies an icon (for Status) on the same line (but not next to the checkbox). It would be more direct to let these icons act like the toggle button. Some overlay could be used in case a ‘not yet synced’ state should be communicated to the user.

The idea of being able to directly modify some key characteristics of a list item is very nice: it allows the user to avoid many keystrokes. So perhaps it should also be considered for other key properties such as Priority, an icon for which is also present in the task list.
