[FIX] web: keep focus on checkboxes after rerendering

Previously, when a checkbox was re-rendered, it was losing focus
since it was removed and re-created. Now, if the checkbox itself
is the origin point of the re-rendering, we give the focus to the
newly re-rendered checkbox, resulting in a seamless experience
just as if the checkbox was never removed and re-rendered.
