Decrease margin on Checkbox*-/Radio*Widget and labels in order to clarify what belongs together
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Current implementation as of v.0.17.6 features padding-left of 1em between label and widget.
This can be misleading and hurts gestalt principle of proximity.
Let's fix this by decreasing it to .5em or 50% of font-size.

What belongs together?
