After finishing a download, I would still like to see and open the downloaded file from the Downloads screen. My Downloads screen automatically clears after the download is finished.

The check box is checked to show the Downloads window when downloading a file. However, once the is completed, the download screen where the file name was goes blank (window is still open).
