Screenshot shows that "Bookmark this Location" is disabled

I try to create a bookmark for the folder which is located inside my Documents folder.
I click the cog menu button. Menu item "Bookmark this location Ctrl-D" is disabled.

$ nautilus --version
GNOME nautilus 3.8.2

Arch Linux x64.

Unfortunately, there is no way to take a screenshot in Gnome when the menu is opened. So, I ssh'd to my linux desktop from another computer and made the screenshot. See the attachment "nautilus-bookmark-bug.png".

Thanks for taking the time to write this report.
However, what is described is not a bug. As the label reads, "Bookmark this location" means bookmarking the location (not the selection). In the screenshot, "this location" is Documents. Documents cannot be bookmarked because it is already in the sidebar, which is the reason why it is disabled.

You can bookmark a folder by following these steps:

> 1.   Open the folder (or location) that you want to bookmark.
>
> 2.   Click the gear button in the toolbar and pick Bookmark this Location.
