Bug Description

When opening a menu on the breadcrubs, there is a Properties item available. This one is not there when you rightclick on the Place pane menu.

Use case: when trying to see for the free space on a device (USB-stick or -disk), you have to click on the device in the PLaces pane, then move to the breadcrumb in the right pane, activate the menu and choose Properties. It is more intuitive that this particular action in available in the Places pane menu.

It could be that there are more several actions which are inconsistent, but this is the one I'm encountering always. From a technical POV, I think there should be no distinction between the several menu's (one menu for all), thus providing optimal consistency.
