      Before 4.0, creating a required Checkbox user profile field forced users to update their profile. Then users could decide whether to select the checkbox or not, but they were forced to update the profile. In 4.0 it no longer happens, other profile field types (like Text input) behave as they used to, but not Checkbox.

      How to reproduce:

      1. As admin, go to Site administration > Users > User profile fields.
      2. Click "Create a new profile field" and select "Checkbox".
      3. Add a short name and a name. In "Is this field required?" select Yes.
      4. Save the changes. Now you should be redirected to the page to update the admin profile, but you aren't.
