Example URL:

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Click on a link to an HTML document.

What is the expected behavior?
The document is displayed.

What went wrong?
The document is sometimes downloaded.

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? N/A 

Did this work before? No 

Does this work in other browsers? N/A 

Chrome version: 52.0.2743.85  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

This happens rarely but at least once per week. Therefore I cannot say/test if this is related to my plugins/extensions.

When the URL ends in "/" the file is named "download (N).html". Otherwise if it ends in "/name" the file is named "name.html".

Usually clicking on the same link again will display the destination correctly. Sometimes it will download the destination again. I cannot say if it has ever happened thrice in a row.

This has happens on various websites such as

- reddit.com
- github.org
- spiegel.de
- google.de

This has been happening for a long time.
