    Description

      Clicking on the "Help" icon on the left sidebar in Qtcreator crashes the application. The problem is that "Help" is using chromium but --no-sandbox can't be specified.

      [3599:3599:1120/071654.578989:ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(89)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180.
      ConnectionServer error: "QLocalSocket: Remote closed" "/tmp/QtCreator-YALFKN/ClangBackEnd-3599"

      There should be a way to set --no-sandbox or just disable the Help if it can't be displayed under conditions like running Qtcreator as root.  Accidentally clicking on "Help" and loosing all your unsaved progress because Qtcreator crashes is really frustrating.
