Not sure if this has happened before...I just noticed it:

Periodically, I reset safari, but I purposely don't check off several boxes,
including the "Clear the Downloads window." This time, however, after the
reset, the Downloads window was indeed empty.

I double-checked my reset selections, and they were indeed what I had
intended; I also checked Safari's General prefs, to be sure that the "Remove
download list items" choice was "Manually" (it was).

Any idea what could've caused the Downloads window to clear itself?

How many items did you have in the Downloads window before it cleared
itself? It's possible Safari has some kind of hard-coded limit that,
when reached, will clear the window regardless of settings.

That thought occurred to me...but I couldn't find any indication that there
was a limit.
