It's possible the thinking is that simply clicking the word will check the box, but the UI doesn't indicate this. One thing that may help is by highlighting on mouse hover. This will give the user the indication that something will happen now that the cursor is over the tag. | It's possible the thinking is that simply clicking the word will check the box, but the UI doesn't indicate this.

If there were a different '''and''' more universally recognizable way of indicating that an item is selected I would suggest it (though none come to mind immediately). For instance, getting rid of the checkbox and making the tags depressed like buttons (when selected) would eliminate the thinking that the user needs to click on the small area of the checkbox as well as indicate which has been selected and not selected. However, I don't know if it would be readily apparent to most users what is going on in the list. | If there were a different '''and''' more universally recognizable way of indicating that an item is selected I would suggest it (though none come to mind immediately).

Slightly greying or somehow altering the background of the tag will also be helpful at indicating it's selected state. This will make the at-a-glance assessment easier. | |||
