This was described first here and it may be related and/or duplicate of #572772: Spam filter (mollom?) on g.d.o prevents posting and provides no captcha or validation.

When I try to attach a file to an existing comment it fails (with a JSON response) due to some CAPTCHA (Mollom) issues.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. On http://groups.drupal.org I click edit on an existing comment (it is my comment)
  2. I choose (Browse) a file to attach from my computer - under "File attachments"
  3. I hit the "Attach" button
  4. The file is attached but I got a status message inside "File attachments" fieldset:
    We're sorry, but the spam filter thinks your submission could be spam. Please complete the CAPTCHA.

    ...but there's no visible CAPTCHA

  5. I hit form's "Save" button and I get in the page status messages area:
    We're sorry, but the spam filter thinks your submission could be spam. Please complete the CAPTCHA.

    ...plus the CAPTCHA in the bottom of the page and only the "Preview" button.

  6. I enter the CAPTCHA and hit "Preview" and I got a JSON response... :-(
    {"status":true,"data":"\x3cdiv class=\"messages error\"\x3e\nWe're sorry, but the spam filter thinks your submission could be spam. Please complete the CAPTCHA.\x3c\/div\x3e\n\x3cdiv class=\"form-item\" id=\"edit-upload-1-wrapper\"\x3e\n \x3clabel for=\"edit-upload-1\"\x3eAttach new file: \x3c\/label\x3e\n \x3cinput type=\"file\" name=\"files[upload]\" class=\"form-file\" id=\"edit-upload-1\" size=\"40\" \/\x3e\n\n \x3cdiv class=\"description\"\x3eThe maximum upload size is \x3cem\x3e1 MB\x3c\/em\x3e. Only files with the following extensions may be uploaded: \x3cem\x3ejpg jpeg gif png txt html doc xls pdf ppt pps odt ods odp psd csv\x3c\/em\x3e. \x3c\/div\x3e\n\x3c\/div\x3e\n\x3cinput type=\"submit\" name=\"attach\" id=\"edit-attach-1\" value=\"Attach\" class=\"form-submit\" \/\x3e\n"}

Something is wrong with Drupal Groups CAPTCHA/Mollom processing...

Other people have successfully uploaded file attachments, so it seems it was an intermittent problem which is now fixed. If you can provided consistently repeatable steps to reproduce this problem please re-open.
