Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Files 4.3.0.0 on Windows: select multiple files, open the right-click menu, and check whether the Security page is offered. Read the selection and context-menu handling to find where properties pages are made available. Done means the Security page is available for multiple selected files; the issue does not name relevant files or tests.
