Bug Description

I started a new nemo instance after nemo -q. Then I opened a SFTP connection to an other device and another tab with my home folder. There I was somehow not able to rename a file but it was no problem in the SFTP tab. After more failed tries with copying and renaming a file in my home folder I right clicked a file to open the properties. But it was not the property window of the file I clicked but the file the was selected in the first tab, the SFTP tab. No matter from which file I opened the properties, I always saw the properties of the file in the SFTP tab. When I selected an other file in the SFTP tab I got the properties of it. Even when I open more tabs and open the properties of any file I get the property panel of the file selected in the SFTP tab.

Copying or renaming does not work either with F2 and CTRL+C nor within the context menu.

Interestingly when I delete a file in my home folder it will be deleted correctly.

I saw this bug also in older releases of nemo but it appears not very often. I thought the bug will disappear in new releases. ;-)

When I close the SFTP tab and try to open the context menu of a file nemo crashes with this error in gdb:

sys:1: Warning: Source ID 184346 was not found when attempting to remove it

== What I expected to happen ==
I want to be able to rename, copy and open the right properties of the file I selected, not the one which is selected in another tab.

== What happened instead ==
Renaming or copying do nothing. Opening the properties opens the properties of the selected file in another tab.
