@Tutislav OK, I'll try to check it out tomorrow.

It seems like SelectionIconCheck is overlapping IconLeftWidget, so it can't be pressed. I might found a temporary solution.

uix/selection/selection.py

class MDSelectionList(MDList):
    def add_widget(self, widget, index=0, canvas=None):
        selection_icon = SelectionIconCheck(
            icon=self.icon,
            md_bg_color=self.icon_bg_color,
            icon_check_color=self.icon_check_color,
        )
        container = SelectionItem(
            size_hint=(1, None),
            height=widget.height,
            instance_item=widget,
            instance_icon=selection_icon,
            overlay_color=self.overlay_color,
            progress_round_size=self.progress_round_size,
            progress_round_color=self.progress_round_color,
            owner=self,
        )
        container.add_widget(widget)

        if not self.icon_pos:
            pos = (
                dp(12),
                container.height / 2 - selection_icon.height / 2,
            )
        else:
            pos = self.icon_pos
        selection_icon.pos = pos
        container.add_widget(selection_icon)
        return super().add_widget(container, index, canvas)

When we replace

container.add_widget(selection_icon)

with

container.add_widget(selection_icon, 1)

it works but SelectionIconCheck is now behind IconLeftWidget.

@Tutislav This is a Kivy bug. Widgets that use scaling actually stay the same size:

The issue is deprecated due to the new API of the KivyMD library 2.0.0 version
