Description Helmut J. Haigermoser

Build Identifier: 

The Accessibility preference page (General->Editors->Text Editors->Accessibility) features three checkboxes:
[x] Use custom caret
 [x]  Enable thick caret
[ ] Use characters...

Enable thick caret can only be clicked if it's parent, Use custom, is clicked as well. The "Restore defaults" button will try to restore the above selection, however, it will not check the enabled/disabled state of the child checkbox, resulting in a disabled checkbox remaining disabled, but getting selected...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open "Accessibility" preference page
2. Deselect "Enable thick Caret" and then "Use custom caret"
3. Restore defaults: Both checkboxes checked, but one disabled
