Item descriptions get surrounded by wrong curly braces in LaTeX export

Item descriptions get surrounded by wrong curly braces in LaTeX export

Hi,

I noticed that in LaTeX export, descriptions in description lists are surrounded by {} instead of [] in LaTeX export, making them not correctly rendered.
For example, the following

- Description :: Item
- Description :: Item

gets exported as

\begin{description}
\item{Description} Item
\item{Description} Item
\end{description}

instead of

\begin{description}
\item[Description] Item
\item[Description] Item
\end{description}

and thus they are not correctly rendered in the PDF output.

I'm currently using Org mode version 9.3.6 (9.3.6-4-gdfa7a3-elpaplus @ c:/Users/joon/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20200217/)

I can confirm this with the latest version of org from git.  The outcome
is not what is desired nor what was previously the case.

The problem, I think, seems to have been caused by commit 5acf4d4692
which addressed problems with check boxes.  I'm not sure how to fix it.

Indeed, it should be fixed now, thanks!

Confirmed!  Many thanks.
