Description

*****BUG*****
Concise problem statement:
RadioButton.labelPlacement getter can create null object reference error.

Steps to reproduce bug:
i don't have an accurate repro, unfortunately, but the Debugger shows me that, in the body of the RadioButton.labelPlacement getter, that while '_group' has a value, 'group' is null. therefore, the line:

else if (_group && group.labelPlacement != "")

throws a null object reference error. is there any reason that line doesn't read either:

else if (group && group.labelPlacement != "")

or:

else if (_group && _group.labelPlacement != "")

?
