documentdownload link flickering

Question

Hi Champ, 
 
 I am using document download in my portal application. When user clicking the link, it usually flickers and download it in a next tab and comes back to main page. 
 
 Can we somehow stop this flickering behavior?

I tried to reproduce. If you are referring to the new tab that briefly appears when you click on download, that's just the way it works. I would suggest you log a support ticket with Appian to see if they can improve this. 
 a!richTextDisplayField(
 value: a!richTextIcon(
 icon: "download",
 link: a!documentDownloadLink(
 document: 1
 ),
 color: "NEGATIVE"
 )
