Bug ID: 125578
Summary: Safari sandboxing on macOS 10.14 blocks opening help
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.2.4.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Mac OS X (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
trying to open help on Mac OSX 10.14 with Safai as default browser fails
because the sandboxing blocks Safari from accessing the temporary/intermediate
html file created in the user-profile
(and even if the intermediate file is put into NSTemporaryDirectory where
Safari could open it from, it would still fail to open the index.html from
within the LibreOffice.app directory)
Manually copying the path works (explicit user interaction) - but even if the
intermediate file would contain a link for the user to click on pointing to the
file in the LibreOffice.app folder access is blocked. Copying the link target
and pasting into address bar again would work but is
non-intuitive/user-unfriendly.
So suggested workaround for now is to force online (web) help when running on
Mac OSX 10.14 and Safari is used as default browser
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install LibreOffice on mac 10.14 with Safari as default
2. try to open Help
Actual Results:
Safari opens, but only shows an error page (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork error)
Expected Results:
should open the index.html from LibreOffice.app
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
the blocking is logged in Console.app
sandboxd → blocks Webkit/Safari with com.apple.app-sandbox.read violation
