I ran into this problem when Jupyter Lab failed to start, because it creates a temporary HTML file in $HOME/.local/share/jupyter/runtime/, and then opens it with the default web browser with "Access to the file was denied" error. It is weird that I can't even disable this "protection", not even telling that I don't see the need to protect hidden files in $HOME that much more than regular ones. Those that are really sensitive should be protected by access rights anyway.
