Positions of Capture Position and Continue buttons are swapped on Mac/Windows

Is it still the case that the Capture Position and Continue buttons are in swapped positions depending on whether you're on Mac or Windows? If someone can verify that the attached image is true, I'll file a bug right away.  It drives me nuts that I'm always clicking the wrong option - I thought the buttons were randomly switching but it occurs to me that it might be a Windows/Mac discrepancy.

I think you are right that the positions are swapped in Mac.  But, then, isn't OK/Cancel also swapped on a Mac?  I've been told that's a "Mac thing".  That bites me a lot when switching back and forth.

⁣Yes, that's true for OK/Cancel but these options aren't exactly OK/Cancel. I think the main reason for keeping OK first or last is to maintain consistency with the OS. The OS has no standard/preference for the positions of Capture/Continue and I'd argue that, with application specific options, keeping consistency within the application is more important? I think the order of them could be arbitrary but for an application that is cross platform (and has users like me that switch OS often) it might be important to keep things in the same place. Not sure how to find out if most users agree or disagree with this, though.
