Say for example there is a good pdf as mail attachment. Once it is downloaded it cannot be opened directly. Instead the Documents application has to be opened separately and the downloaded file selected form there to view it.

Needing to select the file again sounds like a bug, the viewer should open directly. To view the attachment some app supporting that file type needs to be open anyway, we can't just make the email app open every single file, does not make sense, I'm not aware of any OS that does that.

No, the issue is that when the downloaded attachment is clicked nothing opens. I do not expect anything to open automatically, but document viewer should open for a pdf attachment when clicked.

Ok, fair enough, I think that's fixed in next update since I can't reproduce anymore.

Can you still reproduce this using update2 ?

I can still reproduce this behavior after the second update. Not with PDF files but with WAV files.

But also the problem appears when downloading, for example a pdf file from the browser, when the top banner appear showing that the download has finnished, clicking open docs app, but it freezes and does nothing, so in those cases you must close doc app, and then open again, there appears the new file downloaded, and clicking opens it properly
