I apologize for not understanding the problem you were having. You are correct and I apologize.

Here are the steps necessary to recreate the problem:

1 - Launch file-roller within Ubuntu 9.10
2 - Click OPEN
3 - Select the attached archive.
4 - file-roller should display a list of files contained inside the archive. file1 is password protected. file2 is not password protected.
5 - attempt to drag/drop file2 to the Desktop. You will be prompted for a password which should not happen.
6 - click OK and the password prompt will not go away. Enter any random string into the dialog box and click OK will cause the file to be successfully decompressed.

Thank you for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
