Hang when selecting vector & adjustment layer

[hawk]

I discovered a highly reproducible (>75%) and contagious hang in Affinity Publisher Beta 1.7.0.206.

When I simply select a rectangle shape and an HSL adjustment layer, it hangs. Moreover, if I don't force quit AfPub within ~5 seconds, the hang becomes infectious and starts incapacitating one program after another as I hopelessly vie to shackle this MEGALOMANIC Mêе§å (Dock→Force Quit, Activity Monitor, ⌥⌘⎋, etc).

After a hard reboot, in Console.app there are messages like this corresponding to my futile actions:

Hey hawk,

I can't get the crash but I did notice that the Transform panel gets filled with a random mess of numbers. For example:
-179769313486231570814527423731704356798070567525844996598917476803157260780028538760589558632766878171540458953514382464234321326889464182768467546703537516986049910576551282076245490090389328944075868508455133942304583236903222948165808559332123348274797826204144723168738177180919299881250404026184124858368 px

I think this is likely the reason you're seeing the crash. You can get it to appear by the mouse of you select both and try and resize the corner node of the rectangle. 

I will of course log this for you
