I came here to point out the same problem. Also, map download is very very slow, there is definitely an issue with the speed on MacOS vs. Windows.
This bug has been reference on Reddit too. https://www.reddit.com/r/WC3/comments/1lbl6cf/comment/n4juy3x/?context=3
Does the team sometimes give updates here on what bugs will be treated in the next update? 
A non-existing feature is not the same thing as a bug. You’ve never been able to cancel map downloads, and most of the time, there isn’t really a reason to, as most maps are very small data-wise and complete in seconds. There are exceptions, of course, but when the game was originally created I don’t think the devs even consdiered the possibility of a custom map being 100s of MBs or more. While there should be a cancel button, the absence of one is not a bug- it was designed that way.
And no, they do not announce in advance bugs that are planned to be fixed. Sometimes a patch will appear on the PTR (public test realm) before being released and in this case, you can find out about fixes and improvements before they go live. But they don’t just post on the forums and say “we’re fixing X bug on Y date.” They’ve never done that, not back in the day and not in the modern day.
There is a cancel button, it simply does not work.
It’s a pity they don’t interact at all. Even acknowledging something has been added to their bug tracker, if they even have one.
there, doesn’t work, same thing! XD
OK, I legit never noticed. There’s also been threads specifically asking for a cancel button, which you probably wouldn’t ask for something to be added if it already existed, so I just assumed.

When will this issue be fixed??? 
id imagine its a pretty low priorty issue because most maps are tiny and download in 2 seconds at most so the cancel button doesn’t really come into play.
Except for the big maps where it definitely comes into play. It is a priority and something the community wants and has asked for for a long time.
It’s a priority for you, perhaps . But clearly not for Blizzard.
And again, the vast majority of map downloads are extremely quick and finish before you could even click the button. Sure, it’s a problem when that isn’t the case. But like I said, Their priority level and your priority level aren’t guaranteed to align. If they are aware of the issue, they clearly don’t think it’s very important because if they did, it would have been fixed already. There’s no other logical explanation other than “we know but we asked ourselves, ‘how can we heck over our playerbase today?’ Oh, I know, let’s not fix the cancel button bug!”
Who cares about your whining? Your priorities are not blizzards prios. Dont act like you own the company
IDK, it sure seems like our priorities are aligning, because I don’t think this is that important either. I’ve never felt a desire to cancel a map download once ever, before it finished anyway.
