After performing a search for a bookmark in the bookmark sidebar, right-clicking
on a result and selecting 'Properties' does not pop up the properties dialog box
for the selected bookmark as it should do.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open bookmark sidebar (using 'Ctrl-b' shortcut or by using
'View|Sidebar|Bookmarks' menu item). 
2. Enter a search term for a bookmark you know exists - for example just type
'a' on it's own which should result in some results.
3. Right click one of the resulting bookmarks and select 'Properties' from the
context sensitive menu.



Actual Results:  
The properties dialog box for the bookmark search result does not display as it
should do.

Expected Results:  
The properties dialog box for the bookmark search result should be displayed.

This bug has been around since 0.9.3 iirc, someone else noticed it in this forum
