Description Robert Blair 2019-03-17 20:39:36 UTC
Description:
The LibreOffice Dock Icon for the version 6.2.1.2 has a bug with the recent files list. The problem is present on macOS 10.14.3 but may occur on other OS platforms. To observe the bug, you just have to right-click (alternate) the dock icon after having previously opened and saved documents through normal use. The LibreOffice program doesn't even have to be running to observe your recent files list. All methods to clear the recent files list will not clear the recent files list from the dock icon. I've attached images to show the problem. No reboots, logoffs, removing the dock icon, etc. have resolved this problem.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create and save file in LibreOffice. Afterwards, use the clear recent files function.
2.Program does not need to be opened. Right-click dock icon for LibreOffice.
3.Observe the recent files list persists whenever it should have been cleared.

Actual Results:
Recent files list persists when right-clicking the dock icon. It is never cleared.

Expected Results:
After using the clear recent files list function, the recent files list shouldn't appear when right-clicking the dock icon.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
This has been a bug which has been persistent, reoccurred, etc. since many major previous versions of LibreOffice and major versions of macOS. Why is this a difficult bug to resolve?

LibreOffice Dock Icon Recent Files List Bug

Screenshot of the LibreOffice dock icon in safe mode still showing the recent files list. This bug has been reported for years on previous different major versions of LibreOffice and macOS. I don't believe it has ever been resolved. I'm curious as to why it has been so difficult to squash.
