The "Add..." context menu in Messages editor: two bugs

Please see the attached movie for demonstration.

First bug is seen first 15 seconds of the movie: when trying to do "Add..." with an empty selection, nothing happens.

The second bug is demonstrated after that. I manage to create a new key if my selection isn't empty when running the "Add..." context menu item. In this case, I just save the file directly (without making any translation/addition to any Locale).
By inspecting my Git Staging area, I see that ALL property files in the bundle are affected, with new keys added along with an empty value. This is bad, since normally we start out with an English translation (messages.properties) and want other languages to "fallback" onto the English version (until they have eventually been translated). Thus, it is crucial that these keys aren't created with empty values.

I agree that the current behavior is wrong. The key should only be added to the ROOT properties file. Other properties files should be altered upon modification of corresponding strings.

@Lulle74 There are no official builds of Babel plugins yet, but you should be able to download the latest buildt "P2 update site" from the "Actions tab"

Excellent, I have tried it out and this fix solves the issue!
