Description Samuel Mehrbrodt 2024-01-18 10:21:58 UTC
After the modules now only show their own types in the recent documents (bug 159120), we should make sure that a decent number of docs will be shown in the recent document list in each module.

For that, we should make sure that each module shows as many recent documents as is configured (currently 25). At the moment, the whole list is 25 documents, and the module filter will reduce that list.

Also, the start center should show all documents from all modules. This will increase the number of documents displayed in the start center.

The expectation is likely to use the PickListSize value. In other words, whether showing items from all modules or only the current one, the maximum length of the MRU menu must not exceed the PickListSize.

The start center should IMO show all documents.

Dear Samuel Mehrbrodt (allotropia),

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword

Warm Regards,
QA Team
