Outlined buttons have the same appearance on :active and :focus states
Created by: TiGR
Slightly modified example from the docs:
<div class="btn-group" data-toggle="buttons">
<label class="btn btn-primary-outline">
<input type="checkbox" checked="" autocomplete="off"> Checkbox 1
</label>
<label class="btn btn-primary">
<input type="checkbox" autocomplete="off"> Checkbox 2
</label>
</div>
Once you clicked the button you can't say what is its state actually until you move your mouse pointer away (or on mobile devices - tap outside of the buttons area). So, if user have tapped some checkbox he can't really say what state is it in.
Compare this behavior with not outilined buttons.
