Description keith 2025-09-26 19:28:24 UTC
Description:
The start screen after opening LibreOffice, containing recently used files, used to permit clicking on more than one file, permitting each to open. Very useful but subsequently inactivated. Should be restored.  

File/Recent Documents used to list all recent docs of all types, now only shows types matching an open file’s type, e.g. only .ods files if a spreadsheet is open.  Should be restored to all types.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open LibreOffice
2.Click on two file icons
3.

Actual Results:
Only first file opens

Expected Results:
Both files should open


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
Second issue.  
Open file
Click on File/Recent Documents
Only files of same file type show
Files of all file types should show
