Blank windows opening when opening a json that lives outside project directory.
Hi, I've been observing an issue recently with my jetbrains rider editor. Whenever I try to open a json that lives outisde my project, it opens a blank window which I cannot close.
In this case, I do not see the window which asks me if I want to open the file in the current window or on a seperate window, so I'm assuming it has something to do with this.
Is anyone else experiencing the issue + does anyone have a solution? It's not critical, but mildly annoying especially cause I cannot close the window unless I close the jetbrains editor entirely.
The blank page looks like this

I experience the same, also for other types like yaml e.g.
Hey, just an update on this issue.
I've contacted the support team and apprently, jetbrains rider editor does not officially support opening json files that are outside the project directory from the file explorer and that's why this issue is happening.
I'm assuming the same applies to yaml + other formats.
One solution they suggested is opening the file from file => open tab, which does resolve the issue to a degree!
