Public bug reported:

0) open up editor
1) Paste in some encrypted text that I want decrypted but I Have the key to do so.
2) Hit Decrypt: enter wrong password (doh)
3) Hit Decrypt: enter wrong password (doh!)
3) Hit Decrypt: enter wrong password (doh!!)
4) enter correct password(I think this time?) 

you get a popup error:

Decryption failed.

However in the "Details" you get the message in plaintext that I was
trying to decrypt.

A few things

1) If you're going to have "Decryption failed".......that should mean it failed.  If it succeeded..that should be displayed as a successful decryption
2) If you're going to have "Decryption failed" ...allow the entry of a password after the 3rd try.
