Steps to Reproduce: 1. whiptail --title "checklist" --notags --checklist "test" $LINES 60 $((LINES-7)) "tag" "text" ON Actual results: Showed tag & text. Expected results: Text only. Additional info: In checkList function: snprintf(format, MAXFORMAT, "%%-%ds %%s", maxWidth); for (i = 0; i < numBoxes; i++) { snprintf(buf, MAXBUF, format, cbInfo[i].tag, cbInfo[i].text); The tag is always used. Didn't check for FLAG_NOTAGS.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle. Changing version to '23'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)

This is now fixed in the upstream git. It will be in newt-0.52.19.
