Default New Workspace shows Mac's hidden EFI, dangerous

the new workspace browser show the macs EFI partition, which should never be altered by the user, so this is very dangerours.

I run 12.7 on a 2013 Mac Pro with Sierra.

Did you use any terminal functions?

It's seems that for some reason your OS is showing every files and volumes.

That's why PT is seeing it too.

there are no terminal commands involved - that's the interesting part.

my mac os doesn't show hidden files. even in terminal a "ls -la /Volumes" does not show the EFI Partition, so everythings is fine.

so - why is this possible in workspace?! this can easily ruin a whole os x installation.

I was just asking ok.

Because I didn't see any EFI in my machine.

You need to send a ticker support to avid and start a troubleshooting, with logs, etc.. from your machine.

I'll add to the chorus of "me too's".

Just checked, and I don't see it either...
