Bug Description
In Pcbnew, click on a footprint (silk or fab lines). The footprint name appears in the statusbar.
Now press 'e' to go to the Footprint Properties dialog. The statusbar is cleared and the footprint name isn't shown anywhere in this dialog.
I believe it would be quite helpful to include the name of the footprint in this dialog. I can see the properties of the footprint but not which footprint it is!
