Description: 'Recent files' used to bring up all types of recently used files. In 24.8 it only bring up those of whatever program (e.g. Writer files if you're in Writer). Could the next version go back to showing files of all types? Actual Results: go into any LibreOffice program. Create or open a file. Go onto 'recent files'. Expected Results: List all recent files Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Give a list of all types of recent file, and not just odps (if you happen to be in Impress) or odts (if you're in Writer).
UI toggle available at the 25.2 release, for now you can set the LibreOffice expert configuration stanza 'ShowCurrentModuleOnly' to false. Options -> Advanced -> Open Expert Configuration button and search for that string. Select it, then use the Edit button to toggle from default 'true' to 'false'. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 161725 ***
