On Linux, when I drag and drop a file, the download preview remains open even if I switch to the Desktop, or another program. Is this a known issue/bug?

I think the question is pretty self-explanatory, but I am uploading the following image just to show what I mean.

What I would expect to happen is when I drag the file towards the Desktop, or another program (some IM or whatever that's not Firefox), that the "Download Preview" would disappear.

This happens to me on both Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity and Ubuntu 18.04 with KDE Plasma, so it seems that the issue is desktop environment and distro version independent. It's possibly a Ubuntu only issue, although, I think it does happens on Manjaro as well, but I am not 100% sure.

All the best, Bojan!
