Is this related to jface?

Comment 2 Paul Webster

On the surface it looks like extra property pages added by CDT?  Passing to them for comment.

Can you attach a screenshot of what you tried to click on? 
I can't reproduce this.  Opening properties from a marker in the Problems view gives only one property page "Marker".  
"General" or "Configure Settings" don't ring any bells either...

As per comment 3, it sounds like you may be using some derived product. 
Please reopen if you can reproduce + provide more details.
