619556 - Unclickable space between radio buttons and their labels

Status: NEW

On https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?bugid=619529&action=enter:

    <input type="radio" id="list"
           name="contenttypemethod" value="list">
      <label for="list">select from list</label>:

This creates an unclickable space between the radio button and the label.  Should wrap the radio button inside the <label>, or at least put the space inside the <label>.

Personally, this is wontfix. We are not going to fix every single space in templates because someone is crazy enough to click on a space to give the focus to a form. If priority P7 existed, I would use it.

There's nothing "crazy" about expecting clickable areas to be contiguous. For someone who initially aims for the radio button, this is actually a pretty big fitts' law violation.
