The action "Remove" refers to the entry of the download manager and not to the actual interpretation of the entry, which is the file; consequently, the action "Remove" is interpreted as removal of the file. Perhaps the word "Hide" or "Dismiss" is better suited for this action. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Not applicable. 2. 3. Actual Results: Decreased browsing pleasure due to minor but frequently occurring nuisance: double-checking whether the file is actually deleted or not (waste of time). Expected Results: Remove the file from disk.
