htaccess and captcha viewing problem

Hello all.

When I set my custom .htaccess file in the "manager" subdirectory (with authorization options for administrator’s panel set), then eForm stops displaying Captcha codes on my site and asks for .htpasswd credentials on each form’s page load.

How can I overcome such behavior? Has anyone already met such problem and knows how to deal with it?

I’m using the latest stable Modx - ver. 0.9.6.2.

Nobody replies, maybe because of I didn’t show any code. So...

My ".htaccess" file, which is located in the "/manager" subdirectory in Modx structure looks like this:

Options -Indexes
AuthName "Administrator's panel" 
AuthType Basic 
AuthUserFile .htpasswd 
Require valid-user

My form is built with eForm 1.4.4 and looks like:

[!eForm? &formid=`ContactForm` &subject=`Test subject` &noemail=`0` &to=`my@email` &ccsender=`1` &vericode=`1` &tpl=`ContactForm` &report=`ContactFormReport` &invalidClass=`invalidValue` &thankyou=`form_thankyou` &protectSubmit=`1` &requiredClass=`requiredValue` &cssStyle=`ContactStyles`!]

Now, if I refresh a page containing the form above, user is asked for a password. And from my point of view such behaviour is wrong, as the ".htaccess" protection should only guard access to "/manager" path, not to the front page itself.

The captha image generates from manager/includes/veriword.php
