I agree with your statement, but this issue seems to happening with different browsers.  From this other post, they tried a different browser.  If you could verify that the java scri_pt issue is also the problem, then maybe that can narrow it down.

It happens with any browser (Windows 10).

I solved by fixing the java scri_pt code and re-executing it with the debugger. However, I don't think the average user would ever do that.

I posted a new feature request for this, so hopefully it gets resolved.

It looks like nobody is going to fix the bug, so this is what a new user should do to create a new account:

• locate the file captcha.js and edit line #18 as explained here,
• save captcha.js and reload the webpage, forcing the new captcha.js to load. On Chrome, and all Chromium-based browsers, this can be done in two ways:
  > saving captcha.js locally (best way, IMO), or
  > setting a breakpoint before line #18, reloading the webpage and then editing captcha.js (to set a breakpoint you just have to click the line number).

In my case the $.getJSON is not working (not sending any request). So i made a solution:

 

const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', '/mcgi?action=captcha');
xhr.cache = false;
xhr.setRequestHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Expires", 0);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Last-Modified", new Date(0).getTime());
xhr.setRequestHeader("If-Modified-Since", new Date(0).getTime());
xhr.responseType = 'json';
xhr.send();
xhr.onload = function() {
    const data = xhr.response;
    $("#captcha_img").attr("src", data.image);
    $("#token").attr("value",data.token);
    $("#getcaptcha-button").prop("disabled", false).removeAttr("style");
};

Open the console (F12), paste this code and hit enter. Captcha should appear.

I just have solved with Edge Browser (Chromium Based) in Windows 10

using the option "reloading the page in Microsoft Internet Explorer mode"

the captcha image appeared and the registering process finally worked.

This is the easy solution for non expert users.
