A:

Your second post display looks to be 'normal to me. There is a bug in that display program that is reflected in the inaccurate content in your first display.

In regards to the OTHER category, please read this:

It is normal and nothing to be alarmed about.

Ciao.

If you purchased the MBP from Apple, not a reseller, you have 14 days to return it for an exchange or a refund.

I suspect that the display is the problem (About this Mac). Try a Spotlight reindex:
