I believe bugs.php.net is confused by a session loss. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-12-26 23:18:06] chealer at gmail dot com Wow. I'm afraid petk is right. I just triggered this bug multiple times filing https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77352 by reloading https://bugs.php.net/report.php in a different tab after each CAPTCHA I was given. I stopped when it became obvious that I could have reproduced this as many times as I wanted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-12-26 22:50:28] chealer at gmail dot com I just got the "Please enable cookies so the Captcha system can work" error again filing #77351. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-12-26 19:30:51] petk@php.net Hello, thanks for reporting these. The Captcha system here relies on the session_start() in the code[1] and on having enabled cookies in the browser. I think I've just found how this issue happens, so stay tuned for a fix in the following days... It happens due to a too simplistic captcha generation. Once the report page is opened one captcha question and answer is generated (for that browser tab). If user opens a new bug page (or report page) in a new browser tab a new answer and question get generated and previous ones are wrong and this strange error pops up. If you possibly spot any more on this issue sooner than me, let me know please.
