[Bug 2032992] Re: [snap] chromium snap does not allow to read symlinks to /usr/share/javascript

[Vladimir Petko]

It seems that the bug is not fixed in the release channel. 
I am trying to fix lintian warning 
W: openjdk-22-doc: embedded-javascript-library /usr [usr/share/doc/openjdk-22-jre-headless/api/resource-files/jquery-ui.min.css]

But the search bar becomes inactive when I start using symlinks:
