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.
