 As I reviewed and tested the ticket #31634 I found another quite critical
 bug. When you select different actions in the two dropdowns and then hit
 "Apply", the first action will be used. Let's think of the following
 scenario:

 - You go the the comment trash
 - You mark all comments using the top checkbox
 - You select "Delete permanently"
 - You scroll through the list and deselect some comment
 - You than decide, that you rather want to move the selected comments to
 spam
 - You select "Mark as Spam" in the lower "Bulk Actions" dropdown
 - You hit the lower "Apply"
 - Your comments will then be deleted permanently and not marked as spam,
 as shown in the dropdown next to the lower apply button

 Depending on the action you have chosen in the top dropdown (maybe
 unintentionally, as some browsers scroll throught the dropdown values
 after closing the dropdown, when using the scroll wheel on a mous), this
 can be really critical, especially for actions, you can't undo, like the
 permanent deletion.

 My suggestion would be to always set the value in both dropdowns to the
 same value, each time the users changes the value in one dropdown.
