I would expect this only to affect the subsequent checked checkbox after the initial checked checkbox.  This was not a problem in my sample test stack which had about 40-50 checkboxes. I did not encounter any blank lines before any checkbox uMyLabels were inserted in my field, which is intended for printing.

If only one checkbox is checked, there are five blank lines before the checkbox label in my actual project. So I am still at a loss on what is going on. I have checked my settings for scrolling field for simple answer but found nothing.

Well, for me I think your script is allright.
I still suspect your datas are not, but this is a guess.

If you feel so, send me your stack and I can have a quick look.

HTH,
