When a page has a checkbox with an associated <label> element, pressing the
defined access key while the checkbox has the focus does not toggle the state of
the checkbox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the testcase in a browser window.
2. Press ALT+T (or equivalent).  Checkbox has the focus and is checked.
3. Without altering the focus, press ALT+T again.
Actual Results:  
Checkbox is not unchecked.

Expected Results:  
Checkbox should be unchecked.

This bug is also present in Mozilla 1.4 (20030624).

This could be related to bug 214368.

In that bug, I think the checkbox gets set twice very quickly, so it ends up at
its original state. It all happens so quickly that you don't get to see it.

I think this may be a different issue, because clicking the label in the
testcase (as opposed to using the accesskey) works as expected.
