Affinity Photo copies active brush when copying flattened

[Psilocervine]

Exactly what the title says. This has been an issue I've had with Photo for a while but it's getting more and more annoying as time goes on. Is there any way for me to disable this? The following image is from an entirely black document but with a white brush active (not used) over the canvas. I do not want this. I can not picture a situation where anyone would want this to be the default behaviour.

Note: solutions like "switch tools before copying" or "move the brush off the canvas" are not what I'm looking for here. I am aware of those solutions, but I feel they should not have to be part of my process when all I want to do is press ctrl+shift+c like I would in most any other image editor without this happening.

Change the key order
<ctrl><shift>C causes the problem

<ctrl>C<shift> works, I have no idea why

For me, <Ctrl>C<shift> copies only the brush preview, and none of the rest of the document.

Must be witchcraft, I've just checked again and it works as I wrote
Here's another oddity, white brush in the centre of the canvas, <ctrl><alt><shift>E for Merge Visible
The thumbnail in the Layer panel shows the white brush blob

To say that ctrl+c+shift causes all sorts of problems would be an understatement. 99% of the time, it only copies. As in, the same thing as if you were entering ctrl+c. The obvious reason for this is that it is registering ctrl+c as an input before the shift modifier unless you are exceptionally fast. So far, I've managed to get this to work once. If I try shift+ctrl+c, I get the same problem as if I entered ctrl+shift+c.

Keystroke order does not solve this.

This also solves nothing. I can change it to any combination of keystrokes I want, for instance I tried ctrl+', and it still copies the brush if it's on the canvas.

It is clear that this is an issue with the copy flattened functionality itself, and I will hazard a guess that it's actually tied to how Affinity Photo handles rendering the brushes on top of the canvas to show where they are when in use.
