Have a look at the entry. You have checked "Protect Sheet".

Icon will show it has been checked.
Icon will show if it has been unchecked.

If you want to change the description for the icon when checking or unchecking it is irritating. Did you check "Protect Sheet" or did you check "Unprotect Sheet"?

Don't know any entry in LO, which will check the description when the entry has been checked.

Looks like Windows, and in fact we do not show checkboxes on this OS/DE, which makes the tiny toggle modification easy to overlook.

On Linux, at least for Qt, the "[ ] Protect Sheet" command works pretty well and renaming to "[x] Unprotect Sheet" would be wrong. Don't remember what causes the checkboxes not to be drawn on Windows and if it has been reported before but this could be a duplicate.

Why invalid, Ilmari? AT least duplicate IMO.

Invalid as it's a pointless/matter-of-taste request. Duplicate of what?
