[BUG] Affinity no longer responds when selecting an object in a project that has many objects.

Does an issue for this already exist?

Description

When attempting to select any object in a project that has an abundance of objects, Affinity appears to hard crash the moment I try. I have to force stop the process from within Lutris.

For example, it crashes consistently when opening PlayingCards.svg in this free asset pack and trying to select things.

It occurs regardless if I try to click things directly in the viewport or in the layers panel.

I do have OpenCL enabled if that matters.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open a project or SVG that has many objects. PlayingCards.svg here is a perfect example.
2. Try to select or click on any object.
3. Hard crash.

Expected behaviour

Affinity on Windows is able to handle a huge amount of objects so I'm expecting no crashing.
