“Save to File” Button Creates Empty File

[DST-UPPERSOLUTIONS]

Expected Behavior

I want to save responses larger than 5MB to a file, because otherwise the UI becomes unresponsive.

Actual Behavior

When I click “Save to File,” the saved file is empty and does not contain the expected response.

Reproduction Steps

1. Call an API with a large response
2. Click "Save To File"
3. "Save Response Body" Dialog opens
4. Choose a file name and file type and click Save

Yes I've got exactly the same issue.
Tested a custom API returning JSON or PDF response that is over 5Mb file size and clicking on "Save To File" Button produces an empty file.

I've found a workaround by using "Send and Download" action :

Would love to work on this. Any maintainer who could assign this to me?
