Hello!
Sometimes this feature do not show an error window.
How to reproduce:
1. Make 2 encrypted archives with different passwords.
2. Unpack a file from the first archive, check "Remember password" option.
3. Open second archive in the other panel (Ctrl+Page Down) and try to compare just unpacked file with any file inside the second archive (call cm_CompareFilesByContent).
4. No error/enter-another-password window is showed. Just error sound. Compare doesn't start.
That's all. Thanks!

[TC 8.51a] Bug with remembering passwords of archives

I can confirm the problem. I tried the following:
File test1.zip/file.txt - with password aaa
File test2.zip/file.txt - with password bbb
1) Go into test1.zip/file.txt in 1st panel.
2) Go into test2.zip/file.txt in 2nd panel.
3) Select Files -> Compare By Content.
4) TC asks for password for test1.zip - enter aaa and check "Remember (...)" checkbox.
5) Comparing fails silently.
This is especially problematic when user has checked the "Remember (...)" option earlier, because TC remembers this setting, so the checkbox may be ON when trying to compare files in encrypted archives.
