Alteryx hangs on open if input file is being edited...

Just ran into this today.  I was editing a local file that is referenced in a workflow for input.

 

When I tried to open the workflow, Alteryx hangs.

 

When I closed the input file, Alteryx finished loading the workflow.

 

If the workflow is trying to run, I can understand this behavior but it seems odd when opening the workflow.
