Spinning beach ball when trying to close an unsaved document in 1.8.1

Fairly new to Affinity ('though I'm loving it).  I am having an issue with files not closing right away.  It happens when I open (for example) a jpg file and I want to copy that file into another open document.  I select all from that jpg, then successfully paste onto the other open image.  But when I go to close the jpg, I choose "don't save" since I didn't make any changes to it.  The jpg file gets stuck on the dialog box for maybe 45 seconds to a minute before finally closing.   It wouldn't be so bad if it was a one time event, but it happens all the time slowing my workflow.

Hey PapaG, welcome to the Affinity Forums.

Is there an active selection still visible when you go to close the JPEG? Can you try pressing cmd+D to deselect it and let me know if that makes a difference. I'm unable to reproduce this.

Does it make a different what JPEG or image format you use?

It still happens whether it is selected or deselected.  I DID notice however that it did not happen when I copy onto a simple single layered file.  However when pasting into a document that has multiple layers (like 2-3 dozens) with masks and and layer effects, then it happens.  One other note is that the original multi-layer document was created in Photoshop and then saved as a native .afphoto document.
