Some Pointer/Touch areas don't change when switching locale

[Nancy-Salpepi]

Test device MacBook air (m1 chip)

Operating System 13.5

Browser safari 16.6

Problem description For https://github.com/phetsims/qa/issues/967, the pointer/touch areas are sometimes smaller than the text in locales other than English. This is seen on both screens, with the dataProbeCheckbox, the allelesPanel and with all the checkboxes that appear when the proportionsRadioButton is selected. The pointer areas also sometimes end in an odd spot in the environmentalFactorsPanel.

Steps to reproduce

1. add to url: ?showPointerAreas&stringTest=dynamic
2. On either screen, press the right arrow once (or more)
3. Select the pedigreeRadioButton
4. Select the proportionsRadioButton

Visuals with ?stringTest=dynamic:

I seem to recall a similar issue recently in some other sim. @Nancy-Salpepi @arouinfar does that ring a bell?

Looks like the problem was with all checkboxes. Fixed in the above commit. @Nancy-Salpepi please review, close if OK.

Looks good on master. Closing.
