Bug on Safari when downloading files.

Hi Everyone!

I've encountered a problem with my Safari when I updated my early 2015 Macbook Pro-13 inch to MacOS High Sierra. Every time I download any file on the net, a wash out Safari icon shows up whenever I click the download file. Even if I minimize the window, the wash out safari logo still appears. Unless I quit safari and start it up again. It really bothers me seeing the logo in the middle of the screen. Is there any solution to this? I the I tried to restore my macbook twice, but the problem still persist.

The two image below are my screen shot. I hope anyone can help me to solve this problem.

Thank you!

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015), macOS High Sierra (10.13)

I've been experiencing this same problem ever since updating to High Sierra. The only way to get rid of this is by killing Safari.

A user on Twitter suggested removing corrupt .plist files in /Library/Preferences and the concerned files have characters after extension i.e. .plist.lockfile

The problem is I can't seem to locate any .plist.lockfiles in that directory.
