Issue Summary
I'm having a problem with the missing letter captcha never letting anyone through.
Using Drupal 5.7, Captcha 5.x-3.1 and captcha pack 5.x-1.1 running on apache with PHP 5.1.2 and mysql 4.1.22
I have Random CAPTCHA enabled on the contact form and user registration, selecting the captcha type from missing char, ASCII art, Image captcha, and unrelated words
Anybody else seeing this problem?

(I missed this bug report somehow, sorry)
If you have "log wrong responses" enabled in the general CAPTCHA settings, you can see what answer the users gave and what i should be. Can you try this and report your findings?

Hi there - I'm having the same issue of missing character not validating. I can see where the problem occurs, just not had time to investigate further yet.
Log reports:
search_form post blocked by CAPTCHA module: challenge "Random CAPTCHA type" (by module "random_captcha_type"), user answered "", but the solution was "n".
search_form post blocked by CAPTCHA module: challenge "Random CAPTCHA type" (by module "random_captcha_type"), user answered "", but the solution was "i".
search_form post blocked by CAPTCHA module: challenge "Random CAPTCHA type" (by module "random_captcha_type"), user answered "", but the solution was "r".
each time I had entered the correct letter, but it wasn't registered as you can see.

I can't reproduce the problem (DRUPAL 5.8-dev, CAPTCHA pack 5.x-1.x-dev), missing character works correctly
some questions:
Does it always fail or just sometimes?
Does it also fail for 2 or three missing characters?
Is there an error message ("The answer you entered for the CAPTCHA was not correct.") or does it fail silently?
@ Balefire: on what form(s) is the CAPTCHA?
#4
Drupal 5.9, Captcha 5.x-3.1, Lost character CAPTCHA 5.x-1.1
It fails every time this captcha is chosen.
The captcha in question was on the advanced search page. It did give an error, cannot remember what it was right atm (I beieve it was "The answer you entered for the CAPTCHA was not correct.") As a quick fix I have disabled this particular captcha choice for now as the others worked. It has also failed on the registration page.
I am currently working on a more pressing "feature" on my site (as the other captchas in the pack worked), but I will be returning to investigate this one again tomorrow and will report back if/when I find the issue.
*edit*
@soxofaan
from your list of versions, I'm guessing it may be a bug already fixed in the dev version.
