 New Comment:

I'm unassigning myself from this issue. According to my evaluations and 
calculations this project is too messed up to move further. Apologies for 
trying to slightly improve it. Developer experience here is so low that it is 
not possible to fix it actually.

I just got the cookies bug again filing #77353. I believe bugs.php.net is 
confused by a session loss.

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.

I just got the "Please enable cookies so the Captcha system can work" error 
again filing #77351.

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.
