This only happens with encrypted RAR archives.
When unpacking encrypted ZIP archives everything is fine, the label is not lost.
The issue started with TC version 8.52. Please take a look at the evolution of this issue (some screenshots from several versions of TC — 7.56a up to 10.50):

Re: Lost "Password:" label in the "Password required!" window for encrypted RAR archives
I can confirm that the path is not truncated as it was in TC 7.56a and therefor lead to the label "Password" being partly hidden.
If there is a space in the middle of the path - like: "C:\Users\Gæst\Documents\test_tree0\test_tree1\test tree2\test_tree3\test1.rar" then the Label is displayed allright: https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/rarpassword.png
Another thing is that if I click Cancel in that dialog i get an error message: "Error in packed file..."

Confirmed fixed in TC 10.51rc1history.txt wrote:03.08.22 Fixed: Password prompt was cut when entering a RAR archive with a very long path containing encrypted file names, because the displayed name wasn't shortened (32/64)
