      2. Immediately below the Announcement forum create a File resource with an uploaded file and the following settings:

        2. Display: Forced download

      User is returned to the resource view page

      1. Navigate to the Announcements forum
      2. Follow the Test file link at the bottom of the forum

      If a user navigates to a resource using the previous or next buttons and then edits the resource settings it is possible that the cancel button on the form will result in a file download, rather than taking them back to the page view they were expecting.

      This is an edge case, but which will be odd for users who encounter it.

      Assumptions

      1. You have a course with the following activities:
        • Announcements forum
        • File resource with an uploaded file and the following settings:
          1. Name: Test file
          2. Display: Forced download (although with automatic it will also happen for many files)

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Navigate to the Announcements forum
      2. Follow the Test file link at the bottom of the forum
      3. Open the cog menu and press the Edit settings option
      4. Press the cancel button

      Expected result

      Moodle returns to the page from step 3

      Actual result

      Moodle downloads the file and the form remains on screen.
