Typed in Reply, entered CAPTCHA characters, got a "wrong characters" error. Upon return to the question, my text was GONE! [Fortunately I copied it into the clipboard before I hit "Submit Reply" because I know how unstable this website typically is ]

This was on Firefox 29.0.1/Win 7

After further experiences with replying to Questions, it's clear that the CAPTCHA is behaving exactly as Colin described:

First press of the Submit Reply button results in a CAPTCHA Error Message, stating that the characters I entered didn't match -- even if they did. Then, it passes on the second try. This happens every time I reply to a Question.

Another bit of information on this problem:

The Client Side validator is working correctly: if I _do_ type in the wrong characters, I get the following message right above the form [without leaving the page]:

bq). The characters you entered did not match the word verification.

So, it appears to be an issue with the Server side validator.

Topic summary

A CAPTCHA validation issue occurs on Firefox 29.0.1 running on Windows 7, where submitting a reply with CAPTCHA characters results in a "wrong characters" error despite correct input. The first submission attempt always triggers this error, but the second attempt succeeds. The client-side CAPTCHA validator correctly detects incorrect entries without leaving the page, displaying an immediate error message. However, the server-side validator appears to malfunction, causing the erroneous rejection on the first try and resulting in the loss of the typed reply text upon page reload. Clearing the browser cache was suggested as a potential troubleshooting step, but no definitive solution was confirmed.
