48397552: Opening a pdf fails with double click and causes worrying dialog box after some time #21044

Description

Trying to open a pdf sent in a Messages chat yesterday.

Double clicking the icon does nothing.

To open the file (without dragging the icon to the desktop), you need to right click and choose Open under the Services menu, far from ergonomic. This opens an anonymous, icon-less dialog box with "Run Service" as the destructive choice.

If I didn't know better, it would look as if someone had sent me a dodgy app that I was then doing my best to install.

This flow doesn't seem to happen when trying to open a pdf immediately. It feels like Messages loses information about the type of file over time and so doesn't know it's safe to open. But for inexperienced users, this would be confusing.
