Put this in your page, might help stopping selection when you click a row.

$(document).ready(
    function() {
        $("tr td").click(function(event) {
            if (!$(this).find("div").hasClass("ui-chkbox") 
                  || $(this).find("div").find("div").hasClass("ui-state-disabled")
                  || this == event.target) {
                event.stopPropagation();
        }
    });
});

The last condition (this == event.target) is needed when clicking the checkbox column itself outside of the checkbox.
