Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:6 gk]:
 > Yes, it opens the dialog. It's not canceled in the way that one has to
 start over again but it suddenly stops making progress (and the icon on
 the hamburger menu + the menuitem vanish).

 So far Kathy and I have not been able to reproduce this using a debug
 build on Linux or macOS. We will try again with an optimized build. Two
 more questions for you:
 1. Can you reproduce the problem if you open the about dialog a second
 time without using the new hamburger menu item? If so, that might imply
 this is not a new bug (it is much more noticeable with the new
 "Downloading..." hamburger menu item though).
 2. Does the download restart on its own if you wait a while? We see a
 pause but it does restart within 5-10 seconds. This behavior is confusing
 though.
