Description Carl Sopchak 2020-05-02 00:06:52 UTC
Description:
I doubt I'm the first to suggest this, but haven't seen a bugzilla report (too many to sift through)...

It makes absolutely no sense to me why LibreOffice Writer would list Calc files in its recently used list.  Even in a single app, I find the Recently used list to be too short and not of much help.  Sharing the list across all LibreOffice apps makes the list practically useless.

PLEASE change this behavior so that each app has it's own Recently Used Files list.

Regards,

Carl

Steps to Reproduce:
Open a file in Calc, open Writer and do CTRL-F-U.  You see the Calc file.

Actual Results:
Files opened across the LibreOffice universe are shown in the CTRL-F-U list of files.

Expected Results:
You should not see files that are for other LibreOffice components.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Bugzilla is definitely hard to navigate for unfamiliar users.  But this issue has indeed been reported before, as bug 56696.  Marking as DUPLICATE.
