SUMMARY

  When an application that was previously added like a "favorite" in 'Application Menu' is removed, the icon disappears from "Favorites". It's ok.
  But when I reinstall the same application and try to put it as a "favorite" again with the right mouse button, it just gives the option to "Remove from Favorites". I need to log in again for the "Add to Favorites" option to be available.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add an application as "favorite" in Application Menu by menu bar;
2. Remove the application (by terminal, for example - it correctly is removed from Favorites, too);
3. Reinstall the same application;
4. Try add the application again to favorites in Application Menu. The unique option is "Remove from favorites", but is is not in favorites.
5. Logout and login again to show the "Add to favorites" again in Application Menu.

OBSERVED RESULT

. After remove and reinstall an application, the option "Add to Favorites" doesn't appear using right mouse button in the application on menu bar.

EXPECTED RESULT

.  The option "Add to Favorites" should appear using right mouse button in the application on menu bar, not  "Remove from Favorites".
