Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
Clicking webpage items in Help menu changes the browser but takes a long time to open a tab and thus the webpage.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  • Blender has focus, click Help menu, click Manual.
  • Default browser takes focus immediately but shows the spinning pinwheel.
  • After a long time, it switches to the window, often on another desktop and opens a new tab.

Findings:
Also verified in a fresh user account.

  • Delay in both Safari, Firefox, or any other default browser. Video:

  • Beachball and longer delay in both browsers, if they are not on the same desktop/ space as Blender. Beachball didn't appear in screen recording, but appears on screen. Video:

For the record: I was unable to reproduce the delay with FireFox Nightly (74.0a1 (2020-01-08) (64-bit)), Chrome (Version 79.0.3945.117 (Official Build) (64-bit)) and Safari (Version 13.0.4 (15608.4.9.1.3)) on Catalina 10.15.2

@Ankit Meel (ankitm), have you tried with browser extensions disabled?

I can't reproduce it in Safari 13.0.4 (macOS 10.14.6) either, but I remember the issue was earlier.

Opening blender via double click shows lag.
Opening /Users/me/blender-build/build_darwin/bin/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/Blender executable via double click or directly via terminal shows no lag.

Problematic:

  • Buildbot's 2.82 ; not code-signed ; Required root password in Security & privacy to open
  • Xcode's build ; not code-signed by me.

Proper functioning:

  • bl.org/dl 2.81a ; code-signed ; required only a single click permission, not root password.

Also based on discussions in

It can be closed as a code-signing issue.
Using the executable in Contents folder under the package doesn't raise this problem. .app files are more constrained.
