Description:
After upgrading to the latest LibreOffice version (7.2.1.2) under MacOS Catalina (10.15.7) the native MacOS save / open dialog do not open. After clicking on the corresponding buttons or choosing the option from the menu I only see the MacOS spinning pinwheel for about 20 seconds. Afterwards I can continue working in my document (Writer / Calc). Saving & Opening is only possible after changing the preferences "LibreOffice -> General -> Use LibreOffice dialogs".

If I completely uninstall LibreOffice including all preferences / cache files, the native dialogs are also not shown.

I also tried the safe Mode, but it did not help either.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install LibreOffice 7.2.1.2 under MacOS Catalina
2. Create new Writer or Calc file
3. Click on Save button / choose Save from menu

Actual Results:
LibreOffice not usable for around 20 seconds, showing MacOS spinning pinwheel.
Afterwards pinwheel disappears, but dialog does not ever appear.

Expected Results:
Being able to save using the native dialogs.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Did you give to LibreOffice rights for full access to hard drive in OS options?

Oh, shame on me. I did not check that! Sorry. 
That was the reason.

I did not think about checking the security settings, as I already had it working with an older version and I was thinking that I would be asked again by the system, if the newer LibreOffice version should be allowed to access the disk.


Thanks a lot!
