I just was looking, but I currently can't find it anymore. It seems this has 
been removed from the styleguide meanwhile.

The idea was, that the context menu as the name says should only display

everything.

Some time ago we changed all actions in the context menu of the foldertree 
from disabled to hidden, when they are not available, because of that.
