I think this only happens when you have ‘Preserve log’ checked and you are trying to view the response data of a previous request after you have navigated away.
For example, I viewed the Response to loading this Stack Overflow question. You can see it.
The second time, I reloaded this page but didn’t look at the Headers or Response. I navigated to a different website. Now when I look at the response, it shows ‘Failed to load response data’.
This is a known issue, that’s been around for a while, and debated a lot.
