Description alther 2018-08-28 20:36:04 UTC 
Description:
I seem to have had a problem with the recent document list for a while.  By that I mean the document list contains documents that no longer exist (I deleted them) and new documents I've created or opened don't appear there.  It's like the list is frozen in time.

Today, I tried clearing the list to see if that would fix the issue, but instead it crashed LibreOffice.  I was in Calc if that makes a difference.

After LO crashes, the Document Recovery dialog appears.  I click OK and the dialog goes away and nothing happens.  I need to kill the LibreOffice process from Task Manager and open the spreadsheet again.

Crash report is here:
http://crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/crash_details/37e835c0-86e5-4a3d-b809-076e58fa7686

Steps to Reproduce:
I had a "full" recent's list to start with and, as noted above, the list wasn't being updated.
1. Open a spreadsheet
2. File->Recent Documents->Clear List

Actual Results:
LO crashes.  Document Recovery dialog appears listing open documents.  Click OK to recover them, the dialog goes away and nothing happens.  I need to go into the Task Manager to kill LibreOffice.  After killing LO, I can then open a document.

Expected Results:
Clear the list (or prompt me first).


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Restarting in safe mode allows me to clear the recent documents list, but it only contains a single entry after restarting, so I'm not sure how helpful that is, since it doesn't reproduce a full list.

Open a few files to increase the list, and test.

Not repro.

I had a full list of 25 documents in my recents.  I haven't had time to fire it up in safe mode and try to reproduce.

Comment 7 durvertje 2019-02-04 22:02:35 UTC 
I have just upgraded from 5.4.4.2 to 6.1.4.2 (x64, Windows) and I confirm the bug is still present. I also have a full (25 item long) Recent Documents list, which has erroneously not been updated for a while. Selecting the "Clear List" menu item, causes the application to crash. After the crash I have to manually stop all LibreOffice related processes in Task Manager before Calc can again be launched. A crash report can be found here: crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/crash_details/f22b8222-d7eb-4cf2-8cc8-edbd924e9b0.
Comment 8 Xisco Faulí 2019-02-12 14:19:22 UTC 
Once LibreOffice crashes and the document is reopened, is the list cleaned ?

Could you please share a screenshot of the list of recent documents ?

Comment 10 alther 2019-08-19 15:54:30 UTC 
I'm currently on LO 6.3.0.4 and have not been able to reproduce it.  I had a full list of 25 documents and was able to clear the list without issue.

As another user commented they experienced the same thing (comment 7).  It seems as if it was just a transition bug - i.e. going from a prior major version to 6.  I'm guessing something was corrupt in the storage of the recent files list and once that was resolved (in safe mode), it hasn't happened again.
