Finder gives message "xxxx" can't be found

The first time Double click a Pages file, in finder, I receive a message that it cannot be found (see below). The file exists, it is a Pages document, and a thumbnail is visible.

On second and subsequent Double clicks the file attaches to the application and opens.


Any help appreciated.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.1
