Webloc files relaunch Finder when selected in Column view

I recently updated to the latest Safari update (v12) on my iMac and I have an issue when I view webloc files in the Column view feature of Finder. If I select one of the files it immediately relaunches Finder which prevents me from opening or changing the permissions. The Finder also relaunches if I Quickview or try Get Info on the file. I can open the file by right-clicking in Icon view, however, it's not convenient to have to switch between these views.


I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue and if there is a fix. I wish there was an easy way to revert back to a previous App, unfortunately I hadn't backed up for a week so this isn't an option.

Thanks for any help.

iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12.6), iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017)

I also captured this log from Console (only the info that is relevant to the Finder crash). It may not be an issue with Safari and I'm not sure if this info helps at all? I just noticed the crashes started occurring after I updated Safari
