Change events not fired on checkbox in Opera 11.50 when clicking a label element

[[email protected]…]

In this situation where:

1. You have a .live binding to a click event and that event calls the .preventDefault() method
2. The live binding is completely unrelated to the checkbox element and the wrapping label element
3. You have a .change binding on the checkbox element

Then when you click the label (in order to tick/untick the checkbox) the change event on the checkbox is not fired.

This works in Opera 11 but not in 11.50

I think we'll wait unti 11.50 is released. According to my installation and the update check, 11.11 is the current stable.

cc'ing mike taylor, maybe he has some insight

I've also submitted this same issue with the Opera team (DSK-340083) in case it's a bug on their side.

Thanks, Ray. I've CC'd the right people on your bug and we'll see what's up.

OK, appears to have been a regression in earlier 11.50 snapshots, but fixed in RC1: ​http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2011/06/23/swordfish-rc1

Thanks for reporting though!
