No it's quite common to configure it to only trigger when adding external links (so the edit needs to be submitted before deciding whether or not to show a captcha)

But yes for people setting it to trigger on *all* edits, it would indeed make sense for the captcha to be displayed alongside the 'save' button. I suppose if it was really clever, it would re-arrange the way the form works in accordance with how triggering is configured.
