Map Data checkmark is unresponsive

[martinstingl]

When I enable "Map Data", the checkmark is NOT set until the map data has loaded, which takes some time (depending on how much data is fetched).

Please allow the checkmark to be immediately set and unset by clicking with the mouse, independent of the data load state.
The loading process of the data should then just "look" after the checkmark state.

What browser are you using? Only the check mark appears immediately for me and the data then loads in the background.

If your browser isn't doing that then it may not be something we can fix, as the check mark is set and unset by the browser and we just watch for the change event to trigger loading the data so if your browser chooses not to set the check mark until after the event handler has been fired that might not be fixable.

I was also experiencing the unresponsive checkmark in mobile Safari but it is now fixed for me (just checked, iOS 13.6.1)

I am using Firefox 80.0 with Linux Mint 20 Xfce.

Well I was also using Firefox 80 on linux and wasn't seeing the problem.

Even if there is a kind of event handler working, something prevents my browser from checking the checkmark first and then fetching the data.
Currently my browser marks not until loading and rendering the map data is finished.

The same behaviour is there when deselecting the box: only after redrawing the map, the box is unchecked.

The map data check mark is extremely dangerous. Sure you might enable it while you're looking at a forest but the moment you slide the map into some data-dense area your cellphone browser is probably going to be out of business and there's no way you're going to get back into that menu to turn off.
Okay, reboot your phone, (or just relaunch your browser,) but sorry, those cookies are still there, so you're not going to be able to solve the problem.
And finding where those cookies are stored is not a simple task especially on a cell phone.
What might help a little is to have a button right there on the surface of the web page that you don't have to get back inside the menu of that maybe will turn off that map data layer.
Or, make the map data layer a special kind of cookie that will go away once you blow up your browser! ( I think it's just simply called a session cookie.)
