Forcing Affinity apps to try to open an unsupported file type creates tab in Live Docs

Sequence:

  1. Tap Open, then Open Document.
  2. Navigate Files dialog to find a file of a type that Affinity does not support (and HTML file in the video below).
  3. The file is, properly, grayed out and not selectable.
  4. Long-press on the file, and in the options that are displayed, choose Get Info.
  5. Tap the file icon at the top of the info dialog.
  6. Application tries to Open the file, and, properly, complains that it is not supported.
  7. However, Live Docs now has an entry for the file. You can Close it, but you cannot Open it. You can also click on the document menu and try to Save it as an Affinity file, which will crash the application.
