ember-paper checkbox ripple effect stuck

We have an ember app (v.3.4) with a list of checkboxes and icon buttons in ember-paper, and half of the time, when you click on a checkbox or icon button, the ripple effect gets stuck and leads to nothing else is clickable anymore. The checkbox/buttons are pretty close to each other due to space constraints. One can only reload it to get everything back to normal. I have done some research but have not gained much insight as to what is happening.

1. Is it the ripple effect causing the problem? If so, how can I disable it in ember-paper?
2. Is the proximity of these controls causing the problem?
