Download works perfectly inside the dialog. I thought a workaround would be to simply navigate the dialog to a confirmation page which the user could then dismiss, however, it seems that the dialog refuses to navigate after the download. (Without any download action, the navigation works perfectly)
I have also tried using the tr:fileDownloadListener, but the effect is the same. Any other points of advice would be appreciated.
