Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
1. have `file1` somewhere
2. make symbolic link to `file1` as `symlink1` (for example with Nautilus:
Create Link or <Ctrl+Shift+M>)
3. rename `file1` to new name (now `symlink1` is broken)
4. try to edit `symlink1` properties to point to the new name
Expected results:
* Nautilus allows to change properties of the symbolic link
Actual results:
* Nautilus does not allow to change properties of the symbolic link
