Blender Version
Broken: 2.76 - master (1283c66)
Worked: Unknown

Short description of error
The context pinning functionality in the Properties Editor doesn't work for Bones and Constraints. There may be a few others too that I haven't noticed yet, but these are the biggest ones.

Couldn't recreate, but also not sure how I'm supposed to recreate. Could you give some more precise steps?

Create 2 bones: A and B
Add a constraint on B
Split properties editor: one editor for bone,the other one for bone constraints
Select bone B and pin the constraints editor
Select bone A. Constraint disappears.
Pin bone editor to show bone A
Select bone B again. Constraint reappears, but bone settings now show bone B again, not bone A

1. Create 2 bones: A and B 2. Add a constraint on B 3. Split properties editor: one editor for bone,the other one for bone constraints 4. Select bone B and pin the constraints editor 5. Select bone A. Constraint disappears. 6. Pin bone editor to show bone A 7. Select bone B again. Constraint reappears, but bone settings now show bone B again, not bone A

Here's the original file where I noticed the problem (it's equivalent to step 5 above - A = BBone, B = green/bone with constraint)
constraints-follow_bbone_target-02.blend

Afaik properties pinning never worked for bones? It’s ID feature only (cf. sbuts->pinid = buttons_context_id_path(C);, and buttons_context_id_path() in buttons_context.c of buttons space editor), and bones are no ID ;)

So sounds more like TODO than actual bug to me, though can see how useful this feature would be, and probably not too hard to implement even.
