Summary:
The downloads modal in Safari for macOS restricts the error message for failed downloads to just the one line usually used to show a download’s progress, with no way to read the error message in full as well

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Commence a download in Safari for macOS (Xcode 9 beta in this case)
2. Have it crash (in this case, I resumed the download after ~12 hours; I’m guessing my permissions had expired by then)

Expected Results:
The failed download shows the full error message

Actual Results:
Only the first few words of the error message are visible

Version:
Safari 10.1.2
