Description

### Expected
The app shows the note when clicking on it from the side list
### Observed
The app crashes when I try to open this specific note
### Reproduced
1. Open the app
2. Create a note with these exact contents:
> payouts states
>
> Create external payee -> Distribute $10 to them -> It shows up on Pay-outs page -> You click the Pay out button and it moves the money without any fees
> Create external payee which is also a Charity -> Distribute
4. Open another note, or close/reopen the app
5. Click the note, or reach it with the up/down arrow keys
6. The app crashes

The note opens up fine in the iOS app

Research direction

Reproduce the crash in the macOS app using the exact note contents and the listed navigation steps; the payload names no files, tests, or entry points. Done means the affected note opens successfully after reopening the app and through keyboard navigation without a crash.
