Bug Description
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.

Tried in ubuntu 15.04 / kgpg 4:14.12.0-0ubuntu1 and it's slightly different, but same basic bug
It pops up as "Decryption failed" but the next attempt at decryption succeeds (ie it remembers that you got the right password)
so reviewing the symptoms:
> 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
this is still happening
> 2) If you're going to have "Decryption failed" ...allow the entry of a password after the 3rd try.
This is no longer the case.
