FB10143188 - Safari detected an app or service that interfered with clicking
lapcat opened this issue · comments
The alert "Safari detected an app or service that interfered with clicking" appears mistakenly when trying to enable a Safari app extension. This has been a bug for more than 2 years, and the bug still exists on macOS 13 Ventura. It happened with a clean install of Ventura on an empty volume, and no third-party software installed except my own Safari extensions. https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/enable-extensions.html
Apple's response:
Resolution:Potential fix identified - In macOS 13
Yes, this was resolved in macOS 13.

Apparently it wasn't. It just got this today on macOS 14.5.
Do you have any utility apps or the like that have invisible windows over the Safari Settings window? That can trigger it. Screen recording (in QuickTime or otherwise) is a common trigger (that is expected).

No.

No.
From the beginning, this has always been a random bug, not "works as expected", and I've encountered it at random times on 3 different Macs.
And today in Safari 17.5 on macOS 14.5
