Android AppCompatCheckbox padding/margin/gravity

Issue

I have a AppCompatCheckBox in my layout. This is how it looks like:

The problem is the padding or margin or gravity is not the way I want it to be. There is a small gap between the Box and the left border. I set gravity to left/start paddding and margin to 0 but the gap still exists. How can I remove this? I want it to be completely at the left border or centered. Both would be okay. But set gravity to center does not work, too.

Anyone has an idea?

The CheckBox and the Text should be above each other.

<LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/llRoot"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="vertical">

            <LinearLayout
                android:id="@+id/llCbs"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:orientation="horizontal">

                <android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatCheckBox
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_weight="1"

                    android:layout_weight="1"
                    android:textColor="?attr/textColor" />

                <android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatCheckBox
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_weight="1"
                    android:textColor="?attr/textColor" />
            </LinearLayout>

            <LinearLayout
                android:id="@+id/llTv"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:orientation="horizontal">

                <TextView
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_weight="1" />

                <TextView
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_weight="1" />

                <TextView
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_weight="1" />
            </LinearLayout>

        </LinearLayout>

Solution

Was not a problem of the AppCompatCheckBox but of the CheckBox itself. The only solution I found is to set negative margin (for me -7dp was great).
