Immediate crash on moving a symbol "inside" a copy of itself

[Shion]

Perhaps for relatively obvious reasons (i.e. recursion!) Affinity Desinger (version 1.8.1) crashes immediately when trying to move an existing symbol "inside" a copy of itself.

To reproduce:

1. create a new document, and add a new shape (e.g. a rectangle).
2. turn said object into a symbol
3. duplicate this symbol (keeping it selected — the next step is only possible if the symbol is ordered "above" a copy of itself, in terms of the layer structure)
4. from the menu bar, select "layer">"arrange">"move inside" or press the shortcut <cmd> + <alt> + <G> [which is how I discovered this, accidentally, thinking this shortcut would rather ungroup things]

To solve: please make it impossible to move/copy an object into "itself"

Hi Shion,
 
Thanks for letting us know - it shouldn't be possible to drag the shapes in, however it looks like this case isn't being considered. I'll get this passed on to development. Thanks for letting us know.

The issue "It should not be possible to use 'Move Inside' to place a Symbol inside itself" (REF: AF-562) has been fixed by the developers in internal build "2.3.0.2083".
This fix should soon be available as a customer beta and is planned for inclusion in the next customer release.
Customer beta builds are announced here and you can participate by following these instructions.
If you still experience this problem once you are using that build version (or later) please reply to this thread including @Serif Info Bot to notify us.
