Odd Captcha Error

Not 100% sure this is something that can be fixed, per say, but it's worth being aware of.

When buying an item from a shop (any item, any shop), if you click the Submit Offer button directly after clicking the reCAPTCHA button (while the circle is about half blue), it will cause a connection error to occur between it and google. This gives a little popup saying so, and it then becomes impossible to get the captcha to register a click, or to even click a new item from the shop while in the same window. Closing the tab and using a fresh one fixes the error on a user-scale.

The window for this issue is only about a second long, but I managed to hit it when buying an item.

I would provide screencaps but I was using the captcha so many times trying to break it again that google definitely thinks I'm a bot and is automatically providing image selection captchas now...

I'm using Firefox 51.0.1.

@animetriplicate hullo! I hope that you are well. Thanks for reporting this.

Basically, while the reCAPTCHA was loading (i.e. before it was fully complete with a checkmark), it interrupted the connection and so, after hitting "Buy Item", it didn't buy the item successfully?

Please verify that this is what you're talking about. This is helpful to me to try and replicate it. ❤️

@ian

Correct. It did not buy the item, and then I was unable to try the captcha again or select a different item while using the same tab that the error occurred in.

@animetriplicate got it. Thanks for reporting this. It would make sense that haggling would interrupt the reCAPTCHA loading.

I will look into ways of making this more streamlined.
