“Save to File” Button Creates Empty File

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
