This bug has actually been present since at least version 1.6 but I just signed up recently, so here we go :p
If you are a moderator or higher, you'll have 3 dropdown-menus at the bottom of a showthread-page: "inline moderation", "moderation options", and "forum jump" (or just "forum jump" as a normal user). Usually, I expect when there is an "ok"-button right next to the menu, it should be clicked once the choice has been made.
Right now, though, selecting an option from one of the latter two heads straight to a follow-up page without having to ok-confirm anything. Hence, it feels a little inconsistent with the inline moderation.
The solutions I could come up with would be either to remove the ok-buttons from the respective templates (but then again, this looks so terribly inconsistent) or fix the html/js-code to make the buttons necessary. Either way, I guess this is just a bit of tinkering with the templates.
A bit about the technical side:
For the record, this behavior is also apparent around here (at least the forum jump, no idea about the moderation options).
