Description Juan R. Garcia Blanco 2011-05-08 08:36:05 UTC 
When the downloads bar appears at the bottom of the window and fills the current width of the window, a new download makes the window to increase its size horizontally.

What are you doing exactly to reproduce this? Here the download bar does not grow with each new donwload, they are all resized to fit the available space.
Comment 2 Juan R. Garcia Blanco 2011-05-09 19:14:13 UTC 
I have this problem while at a page that tries to play a sound using (I guess) flash. It automatically downloads a file called 6_sound2.cf65cca4be.swf because I don't have installed the flash plugin. I have checked that it works as you pointed if I click on a link to download a file. So I don't care about this bug any more, it seems like a really strange case and a problem of using flash to play sounds. If you agree I will mark this bug as resolved. Thank you

Can you tell us which page? So we can fix that case too.

www.tuenti.com is an invitation only, social networking service from Spain. I've tried to reproduce the bug, and it seems hard to reproduce, only appears in some cases but I can't identify them.

For me (epiphany 3.0.0) the downloads bar resizes until X entries; and then it grows too much, and the window starts resizing.

X depends on screen res.  On 1920x1080, X is about 18.

The download starts as "bigmassivenametotestresize.rpm"; and slowly becomes "bigmassi...rpm" and then "big..." and then "...".  When there are 18 simulataneous downloads all now showing "..."; the window starts resizing to fit additional "..."

I can't clear the downloads bar.  I can make it go away, but a new download will bring all 18+ downloads back (even if they have finished)  I have to quit and restart epiphany.

We now clean the finished downloads when you close the bar, but we are still looking for a solution to too-many downloads and unwanted ones.

Chrome has a "Other downloads..." link that takes you to downloads:///; this would be fixed if we implemented something like that, at least the part about many downloads going on.
