Affinity Photo macro crashes application instantly

[IonImpulse]

The macro is as follows:

1. Apply selection refinement
2. Delete the selected area
3. Unselect

I recorded the macro and photo did not crash when I did the actions manually. I'm at a loss for why it is not working in the macro. The macro specified is attached, but it will crash your application also.

The OP's macro crashes AP 1.8.3 (& also the latest Mac 1.8.4 beta) on my Mac as well. It looks like it is the Apply selection refinement step that does it.

@Serif Info Bot, unsure what is meant by  "2.2.0 Release." AFAIK, 2.2.0 is the current customer release version & this bug still crashes my Mac running that version on Catalina.

Tested with the selections.afmacro from the first post here.
