Weird Footprint selection box in Footprint Editor Properties Dialog

When I am editing a footprint in Footprint Editor and invoke footprint properties for this footprint I get this dialog box:


Why is there an option to select another footprint? ImhO this does not make any sense here.

In Symbol Editor the top portion of the Library Symbol Prpoerties has the same entries (Reference, Value, Footprint, …), but here the option to select a footprint makes sense.

Is this a bug?
