Thanks all.

This isn’t right. The change in j4 was deliberately to use plugins events. It’s fine to merge this as it is to get things working. But can we please investigate what’s needed to make this use events properly

As requested by @wilsonge I've created issue #28800 so that it's not forgotten.

@wilsonge the thing that an event should be called strictly to "this specific plugin", not system wide.
This for Cpatcha group and for Editor plugin group.

Check how j3 work

That's not how an event system works. And that's why the hackjobs inside the captcha and editor API were rightfully changed from some convoluted callback system to using events. It is up to a listener (the captcha plugins in this case) to decide whether or not the emitted event applies to it.

Just because things are done a certain way in 3.x does not mean they were done right. Otherwise, just throw all of 4.0 out the window since clearly nothing needed to change ?

Well, I did not meant it is right (or wrong), I am about how it work, the behavior, that the plugin updated "locally"

Okay I think this a solution, is to throw away global dispatcher (from captcha and editor):

$this->setDispatcher(Factory::getApplication()->getDispatcher());

And use local one, per Joomla\CMS\Captcha\Captcha, Joomla\CMS\Editor\Editor instance:

$this->setDispatcher(new EventDispatcher);

there is another try #28808 please check
