Normally they are on iCloud, but as a test (noted earlier) I moved a file from there onto my hard drive, with the same result. Could it be that files created there are specially tagged in some way?

I noticed there are other threads on the forum addressing this same issue. Mine isn't an isolated case.

While I rather suspect this is unrelated to the unopening document, v2.2 has this odd thing going on in the tool bar: Two sets of three buttons are transparent, and clicking on them brings the window behind them to the front. (Firefox shown in screenshot.)

fwiw, I get this on Quit.

This one hasn't opened after updating and eight minutes waiting. Others don't hesitate. I would suspect it was placed art couldn't be found, but because users on this forum can open mine without the associated assets, that doesn't seem to explain it.

It has happened with multiple documents, but it doesn't happen with all.

Curiously, after moving the file to my local drive it produces the same result. So does that mean an in-progress cloud transfer is Not the culprit?

Ohhh, I think I get it. Likely the various files that have behaved as if corrupt were in folders within my "Documents" directory ... which I see now is on iCloud drive. So I infer the file wasn't fully accessible to the application. Thanks for checking it out, and for your insightful question.

Why does designer hang?
