I've created a password-protected *.7z archive via 7z File Manager (official GUI).
When I enter such archive and try to copy some file via F5, password dialog appears which shows entered symbols instead of "*"
If I don't enter an archive but unpack it via Alt+F6, password dialog shows "*"

I've also created a password-protected *.zip archive via 7z File Manager (official GUI).
When I enter such archive and try to copy some file via F5, password dialog appears. If I press Esc, password dialog reappears.
If I don't enter an archive but unpack it via Alt+F6, password dialog is correctly closed via Esc and is not reshown.
