Description Heiko Tietze 2024-08-02 10:25:28 UTC 
File > Recent Documents offers an item "Clear List". This functions unconditionally clears the complete list regardless an item is shown in the list (> PickListSize or ShowCurrentModuleOnly true) or flagged as favorite (see also bug 155698).

Yep we knew this would happen with implementation of bug 159120, see https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159120#c14

Kind of disconcerting that work on bug 155698, https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/157169 is not sufficient.

More justification to get the full MRU history stanzas out of the user registry (registrysettings.xcu) and into a sub-folder/DB under the user profile. Then working with more robust pointers.
