Is Affinity Publisher able to handle --even a few-- symbols?

[minizine3]

Greetings. I'm working with a 58MB affinity publisher file in Affinity Publisher (version 1.10.1), the document has 27 pages. It keeps crashing when I move, copy, paste or remove Symbols. Any good pointers to what I could do to avoid it crashing? *(other than stopping moving, copying, pasting and removing Symbols)? The symbols are very simple letterforms, such as the letter M, very low in vertices count.
 

In another attempt to work around this problem, I created a brand new affinity publisher file.. and once I started using symbols it crashed.. It seams that affinity publisher isn't able to handle symbols:

I'm filing a bug report.
Cheers and thx!

Greetings, Gabe. And thx.

First of all:

(Q.:) Are you using the latest release version?
(here's how to check)
A.: Sorry but.. did you read my post? Scroll up, you'll notice it says "(version 1.10.1)"

(Q.:) Can you reproduce it?
(if you cannot then we may struggle to also, making it even harder to fix)
A.: Sorry again but, did you read my post? Scroll up, you'll notice it has a VIDEO of the problem reproduced.

(Q.:) Does it happen for a new document?
A.: again, did you read my post? Scroll up, you'll notice it has ANOTHER video of the problem happening to a brand new fresh document.

 Maybe the problem with the symbols?

I don't see any in the layers panel so I a have to guess they are in  Layers layer named Lettras Body. Your second video seems to show you pasting this layer into your new document and then being unable to select something on the page. Could you try expanding the layer named Letras body, until you can see layers with the word symbol indicated, and selecting the symbols on the layers panel.
