1) you can remove those extra tags from /download-manager/templates/page-template-default.php
It worked, thank you.
2) yes, icon can’t be linked that way
Well then, how?
3) actually you don’t need to un-select it, you simply can remove [icon] tag from link template
I still think that option should be available. Otherwise if I need to edit the appearance of a template, it is possible that I will have to do so in 2 different locations. Most of my file changes would happen in the Package section not the Template editor.
