A brand new downloaded PV 5.8.1 crashes on my updated Mac (10.15.6) when I press “Load New …” in the Plugin Manager.  
Not really crash but the wheel of death, the application is stalled with 50% cpu-load. When I quit an see the report, it seems to be stucked in  
AppleSystemPolicy::checkLibraryLoad()  
AppleSystemPolicy::waitForEvaluation()

When I build PV with superbuild (system boost and system qt5) it works and I can load my own plugin.

I did not extract it to Applications but Downloads but this shouldn’t make the difference?

Hi, this is a known [issue](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/issues/20139) that has not yet been resolved, but should be by the time ParaView 5.9 is released later this year.
