It's expected behavior that the Options/Preferences label is used according to platform conventions.

What I meant is that on Ubuntu we have "Nightly Preferences" and on Windows we have only "Options", without the word Nightly. I think that we should have "Nightly Preferences"/"Nightly Options" or "Preferences"/"Options".

I think it's intentional (and in line with platform conventions) to say "<Appname> Preferences", but only "Options" with no app name. If that's not the case then we can re-open.
