Checking or unchecking the check boxes (right) next to the category name don't work anymore in 5.3.

@RJTPlomp: The category check box will check apps, but not uncheck them.

Checking a category box will check any unchecked items within that category. However, unchecking the category does not uncheck all the apps in that category. This may be something that needs to be changed.

Good catch RJTPlomp.

Definitely a bug. Here's the fix.

In check.js:

Function setUnchecked

else 
{
	var chkbox = document.getElementById("chkbox"+i);
	var lbl = document.getElementById('lbl'+i);

	if (chkbox==null) 
		return;
	if (forc[i]!=null && forc[i]=='yes')	   //<------------add this line
		return;								//<------------add this line
	chkbox.checked=false;
	lbl.className='txt';
	tabs++;
	uncheckChildren(i);
	if (DisableOnDepsNotMet) 
		disableChildren(i);
	if (useExclusions) 
		checkExclusions(i);
	tabs--;
}

Function checkCategory

if (isCategory(thisChk)) //If category checkbox was checked
{
	thisCat = thisChk;

	for(i=1; cat[i] != null; i++)
	{
		if (cat[i] == thisCat)
		{
			if (state)
			{
				setChecked(i);
				checkDeps(i);
			}
			else 
			{
//				setUnchecked(i);			//<--------remove the "//" at the begining
				checkDeps(i);
			}
		}
	}
}

I disabled the fully un-check a category on purpose. It would cause forced items to become un-checked. Seems like a long-way-around-fix then manually uncheck items, but it prevents a lot of headaches.

@Zorphnog: We were both correct. With all 3 updates together it works 100% again. I mis-read where you added the 2 lines. Attached is the working check.js.

Ok, good. I was starting to get confused as to what you were talking about.

I was confused as well... but downloaded the new fix, tested it, and found out it works like magic again. Great, thx!
