User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0
Build ID: 20150122214805

Steps to reproduce:

When I hit space or enter on a checkbox nothing happens. The element does not check.
I am using NVDA
http://www.nvaccess.org/
on a windows 7 64 bit system.
This is particularly problematic because google forms are being sent with check boxes inside the email now.

The test code is:

--------------000802060202060501080401
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

<html>
  <head>

    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
  </head>
  <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
    <form>
        <input name="vehicle" value="Bike" type="checkbox"> I have a
      bike<br>
        <input name="vehicle" value="Car" checked="checked"
        type="checkbox"> I have a car<br>
        <input value="Submit" type="submit"><br>
      <br>
    </form>
    <div class="moz-signature">-- <br>
      <a href="http://www.brandonkeithbiggs.com/">Brandon Keith Biggs</a></div>
  </body>
</html>

*note* I have no idea what the  is, it was not there when I pasted my code in.



Actual results:

The check box did not change state


Expected results:

The check box should have changed from unchecked to checked and from checked to unchecked when I hit enter or space.

I tried using an iframe for doing checkboxes and that opened up a firefox page without the data from the emails saved. It is a different problem, but still has to do with checkboxes...
