Safari unable to ask me where to download files

safari app not asking me where I would like to download files when "ask for each download" is checked in settings. When I have that item checked off it continues to automatically download files directly to my "Downloads" folder. This is happening on my Mac Studio, and Mac mini m1

Mac Studio, macOS 15.3

I just tested this and have the same problem. I'd suggest you submit a bug report as I have.

There's also the possibility that others may chime in with a possible fix.

Thanks Randall. I was on hold forever with apple support. I've actually noticed a lot of things and talking to support takes forever and they can create bigger problems that I have to clean up later such as having to delete unwanted accounts that they have me create on my Mac.


Is the best way to determine if there is an issue or bug to come here first rather than ask apple support?
