We have been discussing Apples and Oranges again. In my original post I specifically referred to the download bar in the Dock and on the icon in the Download folder.
You did that in post #38616, but I immediately responded in post #38630
Three with Safari...in its command-option-L pane.
and the rest of this thread has followed from that post, including your having picked up on it in post #38656
I wonder if your filled progress bar is the result of a third party extension or plugin.
