            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: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: cloph at documentfoundation.org

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
