Yes, the conventions are not very strict in this case.

Now the use of 3 dots In Lazarus is more consistent than it used to be.
I can add the dots also to all View-menu items + other places that show 
dialogs, if it's the preferred way. What do others say?

User interfaces are difficult to design because there is no single right 
solution, it is always a matter of opinion.
