[BUG] Building Lighting in OS X Editor stays at 0% indefinitely when Lightmass is blocked by firewall

There are pop-ups that come up asking you to Allow network connections; clicking Allow will prevent the issue.

You can go through the steps you outline to ensure you don’t have to click Allow every time you open the Editor or do a Lighting Build.

In this case it really isn’t an issue with the Editor, but a side effect of how OS X handles its network security.

I haven’t had any issues since allowing the connections.
