Google Chrome Downloads Files Before User Confirmation


I have noticed a strange behavior in Google's latest Chrome developer build. I'm not sure if the problem exists in other versions of the Chrome browser as well but it is likely that it does.
Whenever you download a file with the Google Chrome web browser you see a small confirmation dialog at the bottom of the screen if the file can potentially be harmful to the computer. Options presented in that small dialog are to save the file or to discard it.
Imagine my surprise that the file was already in the download directory of my computer even though I did not select one of the two options for that file.
