In Safari Version 11.0.1 (13604.3.5) - whenever I download an item, the download icon stays back on the browser.
Check the below screenshot where on the Download Now button - the Safari Download icon can be seen.
This icon stays no matter which app you are using. Only when I restart Safari, does the icon go away.
Is there any solution for the same ?

3. Sometimes third party software can cause this kind of a problem.
Please run Etrecheck and post the report here.
Download it, open Downloads folder, click on it to open and select ”Open”.
Select a problem from the “Choose a problem” popup menu box, and then “Start EtreCheck” in the dialog.
Click “Share Report” button in the toolbar, select “Copy to Clipboard”, and then paste it when you reply.
