Clicking on the labels for radio buttons doesn't toggle the radio button. The strings should be in <label> tags so that the behavior can be more like in 4.x with native widgets. I consider this dogfood since it can be really hard to click on just the radio button when I'm used to clicking on the strings.
Is this related to bug 5393?

This looks like <label> is broken. The stings have the lable tag but is does not work.

Looking in some of the editor dialogs, I see that the label does appropriately work with an editfield (input) but it doesn't seem to work with radio buttons or check boxes. change component to HTML Form Controls and reassign

This bug is a regression in 5.0 and is needed to have a smooth UI in places like editor dialogs and preferences.
Hm, I'd swear labels worked for radio buttons not too long ago...

removing [PDT-] from status whiteboard. I don't see any rationale for it not to be PDT+. I would argue that it should be fixed soon since it is a regression and because the UI for our app will need to function consistently with other apps. Our UI relies on this working.

For dogfood use... hit the button.... This was a "feature" in some older 4.x versions on various HTML forms.... it can be worked around for dogfood.

Figured this one out for checkboxes at least. nsLabelFrame::HandleEvent calls mControlFrame->MouseClicked when the mouse button is released. The MouseClicked method was removed from checkbox frames on 11-Aug-99 during a general cleanup. We could get the click event to the radio and checkbox frames by updating the content as needed. ???
