This issue can (most likely) be fixed in exactly the same manner as #24455 (see https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/24428#issuecomment-1314952906), preferably again keeping the backcompat layer and making things transparent to end users who don't try to access individual artists.\r\n\r\nTagging as good first issue it should(?) mostly be doing the same thing as #24455, but medium difficulty as you need to wrangle a bit with artists and transforms.\n\n### Code for reproduction\n\n```python\nhttps://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/widgets/check_buttons.html and make the window very wide\n```\n\n\n### Actual outcome\n\nCheckboxes become rectangular.\n\n### Expected outcome\n\nThey stay square.\n\n### Additional information\n\n_No response_\n\n### Operating system\n\nany\n\n### Matplotlib Version\n\n3.7.0.dev691+g218cdffb53\n\n### Matplotlib Backend\n\nany\n\n### Python version\n\n3.10\n\n### Jupyter version\n\nENOSUCHLIB\n\n### Installation\n\ngit checkout","author":{"url":"https://github.com/anntzer","@type":"Person","name":"anntzer"},"datePublished":"2022-11-15T22:19:34.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":4},"url":"https://github.com/24471/matplotlib/issues/24471"}
