The download is blocked by Chrome. Clicking on the notification doesn't change the state of the download. This is WAI, but I agree that the UX is confusing since it doesn't specifically say that the download was cancelled.

nparker@, any thoughts here?

That looks like a bug.  In chrome://downloads it should show a red triangle and have discard/keep buttons regardless of if you click the link.

(unassigning me since I'm not likely to fix this)

Oops, I misspoke. For a dangerous download, it should show [Remove from list] and [keep dangerous download]

To clarify, before clicking on "learn more", chrome://downloads displays the correct warning message (including [Remove from list] and [keep dangerous download]). But once "learn more" is clicked, download gets canceled. 

I believe it is a wiring bug in the download notification UI (which is now owned by safe browsing).

This issue has been Available for over a year. If it's no longer important or seems unlikely to be fixed, please consider closing it out. If it is important, please re-triage the issue.

Sorry for the inconvenience if the bug really should have been left as Available.

Is the bug that "Learn More" dismisses the notification and we treat that as a cancel?

Re #c6: Yes, any click on the dialog dismisses the notification and cancels the download.

It seems like the Download UI on ChromeOS needs to provide a way for the user to get more information about the download state/outcome.

Removing SafeBrowsing since this seems like a downloads UI issue.
