reCaptcha not always visible correct

[Franklin]

Hello,

I have also have a problem with reCaptcha V2! On IE 11 I can only see the text without the graphic and it is not possible to click on the White box as it is not visible. On Firefox 46.0.1 the text and the graphic is shown and I am able to click in the White box. But after that when I then click on "Continue" reCaptcha is shown again and everything starts from the beginning.

My Website is running on Joomla 3.5.1 and the latest jDownloads Version 3.2.44

I have it tested again with Firefox v46 Chrome v50 und IE v11. I can not confirm any problems.

I have the same visibility problem with Captcha. In Chrome it shows correctly, but in Edge there is no checkbox on my site. Strangely when I visit JDownloads with Edge, I do see the correct Captcha. I have attached to screen dumps. The URL with the Captcha is: https://elquip.nl/component/jdownloads/summary/4-flexiline/50-flexiline-leveringsprogramma-2016

Hi
I have looked into this further.  It seems Edge does not support re-capture and neither does IE11 if you start it from from Edge because it is in 'compatibility mode'

If you search "recaptcha in Edge"  there are lots of aricles about this problem, for example

I also found this issue is being dealt with by the Joomla! people but it awaits the 3.6 release!!!  It is not a jD problem!!

Hi
Just a bit more!
There is a patch to the Recaptcha problem that requires changing the order of two lines' in the Recaptcha Plugin.
Presently the code in lines 61 to 63 is
       

Code Select Expand

$file = 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?onload=JoomlaInitReCaptcha2&render=explicit&hl=' . JFactory::getLanguage()->getTag();
            JHtml::_('script', $file);
            JHtml::_('script', 'plg_captcha_recaptcha/recaptcha.min.js', false, true);

The order of lines 62 and 63 need to be interchanged! The result is
       

Code Select Expand

$file = 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?onload=JoomlaInitReCaptcha2&render=explicit&hl=' . JFactory::getLanguage()->getTag();
            JHtml::_('script', 'plg_captcha_recaptcha/recaptcha.min.js', false, true);
            JHtml::_('script', $file);
           
I have tested this with Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Edge and IE11 (started from Edge).  They now all work BUT you will often be presented with Picture puzzles such as click all images with numbers.   After clicking sometimes the new image also has a number so you have to click it again.  There is one with Rivers which I found difficult so I requested a new challenge.  If you get a challenge wrong then you have to get two challenges in sequence right - it seems somewhat tiresome!
