</ul>

Bug confirmed.

Current patch incorrectly removes the space between the radio item and the label. Apart from that, just needs a simple test and it's good to go.

Summary: [patch] RadioSelect widget does not escape label textwidgets not properly escaping content
Triage Stage: AcceptedReady for checkin

In fact, this is a bigger issue than just RadioSelect. All widgets with choices are displaying the same behaviour.

On top of that, widgets aren't using conditional_escape so safe strings get double-escaped.

Patch with tests incoming...

For this patch, I have left the choice values (and opposed to labels) being hard-escaped because that brings up different issues for selecting the current choice.

Resolution: fixed
Status: assignedclosed

(In [6722]) Fixed #5730: Conditionally escape widget contents in newforms to avoid
inadvertent double-escaping. This still isn't perfect behaviour (since it's
unaware of the current context's auto-escaping setting), but that's a larger
problem that needs fixing and this change at least makes the existing
behaviour consistent. Patch from SmileyChris.
