User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Accesskeys for checkbox <label>s are handled differently than accesskeys on
checkboxes <input>s.

In Mozilla 1.0.2—/Netscape 7.01—/Firefox:



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Example:

	<label><input accesskey="C" type="checkbox">on the
<strong>C</strong>heckbox</label>

	<label accesskey="L"><input type="checkbox">on the <strong>L</strong>abel</label>

Actual Results:  
Accesskey C gives focus to first checkbox on the first invocation, toggles the
checkbox on the second and subsequent invocations. (The checkbox is toggled only
if it *was* in focus.)

Accesskey L gives focus to the second checkbox and activates it on the first
invocation. It does not toggle the checkbox on second and subsequent
invocations. (The checkbox is toggled only if it *was not* in focus.)

Expected Results:  
I would expect both to be handled as in Mozilla 0.6–1.0.1, always toggling the
associated checkbox.

On further testing, Mozilla 1.8a2-1.8a5 always toggles checkboxes, like Mozilla
0.6-1.0.1.

Perhaps a fix has already been checked in for this bug?
