Apple UI inconsistencies...?

It's a small thing, but it's obvious that either

  • someone missed this inconsistency - so why was no-one looking for it

Remove Deleted items uses a sheet that drops down from the menu bar...nice modern way of working, but what's with the use of OK?

Remove all Junk Items dialog box

Remove Junk items uses a standard dialog box...a different way of working
