Affinity Designer 2.3.0 EULA and Affinity 2.3.0.2165 - Floating Windows cause crash on closing file

[Afrowave]

1. I reset the beta apps so that I can see if this is a recurrent bug.

2. Open a new file in Affinity Designer Beta. Type in only text so that we have an art object.

3. Save and Close file: The file closes as expected and the Designer app is still on the screen.

4. Open the file. Create a new view. There shoud be two tabs on the workspace with the different views.

5. In one tab, zoom around and then Window > Float View to Window. Move Window to another screen is available. Save file.

6. Go to Window > Merge All Windows

> The current Floating Window empties and the file goes back to the default Workspace. But the Floating Window remains on the screen. The window does not close even when the Mac Window Close (Red) button is clicked.

7. Close the file with the tabs in the default workspace after merging windows. The file closes as expected.

8. Open file. View > New View. The new View will appear in a Floating Window.

> Close the File. Affinity Designer 2.3.0.2165 crashes.

I tried this with the Affinity Designer 2.3.0 EULA and it behaved the same way.

CONCLUSION: I believe the bug is with the fact that the Floating Windows don't close and a window was to be closed, it would hand over it  View content to a tab on the Workspace.
