Description
Hi, I'm using Electrum on Android.
After logging in, I went to Wallet details > Change password and successfully changed my password.
However, when I go to Addresses/Coins, select an address, and tap "Tap to show private key", entering the new password doesn't work — it doesn't show the private key.
Looks like the new password isn't being recognized for that action.
Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Electrum on Android by changing the wallet password through Wallet details, then trying to reveal an address's private key with the new password. Compare the password-change flow with the private-key reveal flow; done means the new password successfully reveals the private key.
