    The Never-ending Progress Bar

    When you download a file from Safari, it shows you a progress bar for how it's going along. If you happen to download files to a folder in your dock, you'll see a line grow as it downloads, and then vanish.

    Except… sometimes it doesn't.

    A download bar that won't go away

    And then it gets worse if your bar changes size…

    A download bar that looks worse becuase it's not connected to the folder

    Well great. Now what?

    To the terminal!

    No really. It's one command:

    killall Dock

    That's it. It restarts the dock, the download bar goes away, and you can relax.
