[CR 127] Complete URLs in the "Downloads" tab are only copiable after completion (what's being changed since version 127?)
Description
Good Day,
Back in the day of version 126
(i.e. release 1.67.X
) or below, everything available in the Downloads
tab could still be copied in the middle of downloading or even if any downloads were being canceled. Obviously that's so much more convenient simply because we wouldn't have to wait until those HUGE downloads to be completed when all we ever needed should be grabbing the complete URLs very quickly.
Unfortunately something should have been changed at some point, and then version 127
(i.e. release 1.68.X
) wouldn't show any complete URLs at all unless and until each download is 100% done:
For some reasons I could merely copy the domain name (i.e. incomplete URLs) after cancelling any downloads, while nothing whatsoever could be copied when each download was still in progress:
Here's yet another example, Microsoft Enterprise Windows Driver Kit is a whopping 17.8GB file and it just doesn't make sense to get the whole thing IMHO:

BTW, please don't tell us to press F12 and grab those complete URLs under the Network
tab instead and many thanks.
Steps to reproduce
- Start any downloads (everything will behave the same way, obviously NOT limited to specific downloads)
- Cancel any downloads, for some reasons only the domain name could be copied
- Complete URLs could only be copied after each download is 100% done
Actual result
Only the domain name could be copied, since the introduction of version 127
Expected result
Complete URLs could be copied, just like the way it was back in version 126
or below
