Bug Description

Sometimes, Yahoo login dialog redirects to a CAPTCHA dialog. When done through the web browser, the CAPTCHA dialog is super-imposed to the login one. However, in the signon UI, an empty page is opened in the browser, and the CAPTCHA dialog appears without background (must be Yahoo login dialog). Also, the credential is rejected even if the CATPCHA is correctly typed. See attached image.

The fact that an empty page was opened in the browser is a hint of the fact that the flickr captcha mechanism uses http and not https. I tried to reproduce it, but I was not prompted for a captcha.

Victor, if you can still reproduce it, can you please do it while running signon-ui with logging enabled?

  killall signon-ui
  export SSOUI_LOGGING_LEVEL=2
  signon-ui

Marking as incomplete. Unfortunately until we find a way to reproduce it, there's very little we can do about this bug.
