Krita 5.3.3 - Windows 11 x64

### Issue 1 - Comics template took a VERY long time to create itself – several minutes. UI was unclear while it was happening on Windows – the progress window went behind other windows.

When I interacted with the Krita windows, they appeared to freeze, but instead of crashing, the operation finished after several minutes and Krita went back to normal.

### 

Issue 2 - On one ocassion, the new template failed to show up in the list of templates

I don’t know why. It was the second template I created during that session with Krita. I closed and reopened Krita and made a template with the same size settings, and it worked this time.  
My settings:

- Finish size: 2400 x 4200 pixels
- Margins: 200 left/right, 100 top/bottom
- Bleed: 50 pixels L/R/T/B

### Issue 3 - When you double-click on a page in the Comic Pages grid to open it, it will launch a new tab even if you already have that page open! It should instead switch you to the tab where it’s open already.
