Just to double-check, did you receive the test email I just sent?

Maybe I am confused, but some things are not clear at this point. Is this the same contact form or website as initially reported a few months ago? Didn't you fix it back then according to me post? Did the fix get overwritten somehow? I'm struggling to see that there is a NEW issue here, unrelated to the previous issue, which was reported fixed.

Sure, but we are simply stripping away anti-bot measures, ultimately leaving your contact form clean and basic ... There is no reason this would not work, and not something we can change in the core contact form. The issue here of course, is why the anti-bot fails on these extremely few devices not even reported by anyone earlier? At this point, if anything, I would need to implement an option "use anti-bot measures".

To be honest, I don't think this anti-bot this will make much difference anyway, as the contact form behavior is already obscured and hidden behind Javascript.

Yes. I will look into it for next release, and maybe even remove it as I don't really think it offers any additional protection. I can't really diagnose it, because this is some vague behavior on some very few devices (perhaps plugin/extension related) that I can't reproduce, and this feature has been in place for many years. Seems pointless to add an individual setting for it ...

This should be fixed in X3.32.0. See release post:
