 Replying to [comment:2 isis]:

 be wrong.

 Yeah, those captcha systems are not intuitive at all, right? fwiw, I'd
 have also guessed that most/many of them are case sensitive.

 > I'd accept a patch for either of the proposed fixes.

 Don't know if this helps, but in case it does: I'm linking to a commit (in
 a separate bug branch, `bug11377_gimpcaptcha`) (+ attaching its patch
 file) that makes the check be case insensitive (it's just one line / a few
 bytes. Doesn't break things.)

 I'm still learning to tame BridgeDB. Running all tests seem to take a long
 while. But I did run the `test_createChallenge_decryptedAnswerMatches()`
 from `bridgedb.test.test_captcha.GimpCaptchaTests`.

 If this goes well, I assume it'd be nice to create a separate test as
 well, something like
 `test_createChallenge_decryptedAnswerMatchesDifferentCases()` or so?
