Variable and List acting up

This isn't a very big glitch, but it can be annoying. Sometimes, when you hide a variable or a list off of the stage, the check box for the variable still stays checked - even though the actual variable/list isn't on the stage. I thought that the check mark would go away when I clicked it and everything would be well. When I clicked the check box, the box got un-checked, but then the variable appeared on the stage again. It doesn't hinder stuff too much, but it can get annoying, and it makes the program seem somewhat ‘un-professional’. Thank you for reading, and I hope it can be fixed. Peace out.

Nice catch! So it's seems like somehow the checkbox got out of synch with the watcher's state - cool bug! I think the fix is to set the watcher state based on the specific state of the checkbox (instead of toggling when the checkbox changes state.) I wonder - are there steps to take that will make this happen consistently? Or did this happen only once?
