Placemark can't be unchecked

Comments: 
A Linestring Placemark can't be unchecked in the Left Panel of Google Maps
Even if to uncheck the folder, in which linestring is shown, linestring can't 
be unchecked too.
So there is no way to make a linestring dissapear from the screen

Comments: [ManoM] Can you post a link to a file that you have this problem 
with, I can't reproduce it.

Comments: [Pavel] I have written a program, that generates kml file and then 
shows it in Google Maps. When I get this bug, i save kml file and next time 
when i view it in Goggle maps this bug disappears. So I can't post a file with 
a bug !

Comments: [Paulg] I have the same problem viewing linestrings in Google Maps 
with kml I have generated, for example: [link removed] - the check boxes are 
greyed out.

Comments: [bocha10] I also see this behavior with a placemark containing a 
LineString tag. My kml document (I wrote it with a text editor) contains 2 
folders each with one placemark. The folder with a simple marker can be checked 
and unchecked, both the folder and the actual placemark. The folder containing 
the placemark with the LineString cannot be unchecked (it is grayed out).

**Warning: the link posted by Paulg pointed to [link removed] where a video 
moving opens and tries to install C-setup.exe which has been reported as a 
trojan. I just changed it back, but it is kind of a pain in the neck to have to 
be concerned about this type of problems. Maybe links should be edited only by 
the person who post them.

Relevant Application(s): 
Google Maps, Opera 9.22 and Internet Explorer 6.0 Windows

Steps to Reproduce: 
make a linestring placemark and view kml in Google Maps

Workarounds: 
sometimes it doesn't work, sometimes it works in the same conditions

Roman requested examples of this problem.  So, here's my kmz with the linestring
problem (the problem occurs with polygons as well - see the "Airspace" section.

Hi All, 

This problem went away several weeks ago.  I assumed that the engineers at 
Google
fixed it.  As far as I'm concerned, this problem is fixed.  I'm happy. 
Congratulations, Google!
