285125 - Entry "Properties" in context menu of Bookmarks Side Bar does not work when searching for bookmarks

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 255255

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Peter Tandler]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1

When I use the "Search" input box in the bookmarks side bar, the "properties"
entry in the context menu does not work anymore for the search results.
It only works when the search box is empty i.e. I don't filter bookmarks. (In
addition: it would be nice if there would be a way to find the folder of the
search result's bookmarks.)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add some bookmarks
2. filter for a bookmark
3. right-click on a search result and select "properties" in the context menu
(Note: <i>sometimes</i> the "properties" menu item is disabled ...)
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
The properties dialog should open.

PS: The Properties menu item is also diabled when searching in the bookmarks
manager.
