PDF 2.0 Passwords that Include Certain ASCII 2-Byte Characters Fail to Display When Placed in Affinity Apps

[Hangman]

This bug is listed as fixed in the latest 2.3.0.2114 Beta, however, the issue remains and is in fact now worse in that placing a Password Protected PDF 2.0 file that includes certain ASCII 2-byte characters generally hangs Publisher. In the previous Beta, this didn't happen.

The PDF still fails to display when placed in a Publisher Document but now double-clicking the placed PDF in the Layers Panel results in the Spinning Beachball and having to Force Quit Publisher.
