Not a bug. Those menu items are toggles so it is correct that the checkboxes are shown. 

Icon and checkbox can overlap in Windows native menus. Unfortunately this is not how Linux (kde* and gtk*) native menus work. 

Go to Tools > Options > View > Icons in menus and set the value to 'Show' and compare the behaviour of kde5 and gtk3 menus: you'll see both show checkbox and icon side by side. Also other KDE application (kmail, kate etc.) display menus in this way

So IDK, not a bug, or not our bug?

I'm not sure if it's ugly or not. The additional toggles column make the menubar more cluttered. On windows the menubar is better to read than on gtk/kde.
