There are misalignment problems and the widths don't always match input widths.

I concur, sometimes popups seem to align to the left edge of the label+field? Or is it the table row that contains both TH and TD. Controls are usable, would be nice to tighten up though.
The rect for positioning options popups ultimately comes from FormHelper._getRect, which was calling _getLabels to include any nearby label. That's not the behavior we want here. It probably is the behavior we want if we need to scroll/pan to a given form element though so I've put that inside an option check.

Don't include associated label's bounding box by default when getting positioning rect for options popup

I'd also be happy to remove the label-fetching code entirely... though I guess it would be useful if we ever implement zoom-to-focused-element again.
