302686 - label click event bubbles twice and input click event fails to bubble

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 146066

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect)

Description

[Brad Fults]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

When clicking on a LABEL element, its "click" event bubbles up (as it should),
but the auxiliary behavior of a LABEL click is the dispatch of a click event on
its associated form control (e.g. an INPUT element).

Gecko improperly sends two clicks from the LABEL element (found by checking the
event's .target property) instead of one from the LABEL and one from the
associated form control.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
View the URL for this bug [ http://b-cage.net/tmp/label-bubble.html ] and click
on the label. Observe the events that are fired (specifically that two label
click events bubble to the fieldset).

Do the same in IE and you'll see that first the label's click event bubbles to
the fieldset, but then a click from the *input* bubbles to the fieldset, which
is correct behavior.
