Public bug reported:

The new toggle-style checkboxes (used, for example, in the user settings
page) are mostly accessible, but can be confusing to screen reader users
because they include both "On" and "Off" text regardless of whether they
are checked or unchecked. This text uses CSS :before and :after pseudo-
elements, so it may be an issue particular to the JAWS screen reader,
but it's worth looking into whether this can be changed. Ideally, either
"On" or "Off" would be read out, depending on whether the checkbox is
checked or unchecked.
