With the new version all recently opened files are displayed but without path-names. In older versions only the open files where shown - which I prefered. I can live with that in case it's a feature not a bug :-)
Not yet confirmed, therefore reset Status.
Thank you very much for your bug report! However, as far as I can see LibreOffice 3.6.2.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 show *both* lists if I right-click (control-click) on the LibreOffice symbol in the Dock: * at the top of the first section of the popup menu, a list of all open files (only the file name and the LibreOffice component, e.g. “LibreOffice Writer”, without the full path); * in the sub-menu “File > Recently used documents > …”, a list of all recently opened files, with (parts of) the file path. I will attach a screenshot showing this. So my question is: do you see the same (and then, what’s wrong with that), or do you see something else (and then, a screenshot(*) would be very helpful)? Thank you very much! (*) You can take a screenshot of a menu if you start Apple’s utility (Dienstprogramm) “Bildschirmfoto” and use the function “Selbstauslöser” from the menu “Foto”.

Thank you for adding the screenshots. The List at the top (opened documents) contains a list of documents, which are not the opened documents. I'll attach another screenshot. I can't imagine, how this list is created.

So in the place where I see (correctly) a list of open documents (if any), you see a strange list of documents, maybe some mixup of documents recently opened ... We must find out what’s the reason for this behaviour. Just three ideas to check: 1) I am not aware that there was a bug fixed about that in the last versions, but if you still use LibO 3.6.0.4 you may want to update anyway to 3.6.1.2 or, even better, directly to 3.6.2.1 (available from http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/ ; this version is called a “pre-release”, but in my experience it runs a whole lot better than 3.6.0.4 or 3.6.1.2). Does this make a difference? Probably not, but we should check this ... 2) Maybe there is some corruption in your list of recently opened documents (there was/were a/some bugs in previous LibO versions related to this file!). To check, please quit LibreOffice (if running) and then delete or remove the following two files: org.libreoffice.script.LSSharedFileList.plist org.libreoffice.script.plist from the folder: <Your hard drive>/Users/<your user name>/Library/Preferences/ and then try again if this changes the behaviour. 3) Another possibility is that there is some corruption of the general application settings. Can you please try to reset your LibreOffice user profile folder (temporarily)? To do so, please: a) Quit LibreOffice (if running). b) Open the following folder on your main hard drive: <Your hard drive>/Users/<your user name>/Library/Application Support/ This folder contains a folder named “LibreOffice”; this is your LibreOffice user profile folder, containing most settings. c) Please rename this folder to something else, e.g. “LibreOffice-old”. d) Start LibreOffice again (it will create a new user profile folder with default settings, so this startup takes longer than usual). e) Please try now if you can still reproduce the issue. Please report the answers/the results of your tests here. Thank you very much!
Dear Roman, I'm actually using "Version 3.6.2.1 (Build ID: ba822cc)". None of your suggestions helped, but digging a little bit deeper into the problem was quite interesting: I think, there must be a new feature included in OSX 10.8, which makes the opened files displayed directly via the OS. This seems to be true, as I've recognized, that the list is always visible, even when I exit LO. The list behaviour is a little bit strange, as the latest opened file is always displayed at the end of the list (I would expect it at the top of the list). In case, that is all controlled by OSX, it could be good, to remove the Symbol's "File"->"Resenly used Docs" from the Menu and offer only one Menu to the user for OSX>=10.8...

Do other applications (I mean, if you right-click on the symbol of another application in the Dock) show the same files list? This would confirm that the new behaviour is a new OS X 10.8 feature. > In case, that is all controlled by OSX, it could be good, to remove the > Symbol's "File"->"Resenly used Docs" from the Menu and offer only one Menu > to the user for OSX>=10.8... This may be more difficult as it seems, because I assume that the code which builds that menu is the same which is used to assemble the normal “File” menu of LibreOffice when no window at all is open. But this would be a little improvement, right.

On Mac OS X 10.6.8, when you right-click any application icon in the dock, the menu shows only the *open* files; and when the app is closed, no documents are listed at all. So this is really a Mac OS feature. → Therefore I propose to close this bug report as RESOLVED/NOTABUG or, if you don’t like the new behaviour, as RESOLVED/NOTOURBUG ;-) > > > In case, that is all controlled by OSX, it could be good, to remove the > > > Symbol's "File"->"Resenly used Docs" from the Menu and offer only one Menu > > > to the user for OSX>=10.8... > > > > This may be more difficult as it seems […] > > > Ok. It's not that important. It's just a little bit confusing. You are right, it is a bit confusing. So please file a new bug report (I suggest a new one, to get a short and clean description; using the present bug report would be IMHO a bit confusing), set the Importance field to “Enhancement” (because I would say it is rather an enhancement than a bug) or “minor” (if you consider this as a bug), and explain in clear words that on Mac OS X >= 10.8 there is now this menu of recently opened items, and that therefore LibreOffice’ own sub-menu "File"->"Resenly used Docs" should be removed from the menu if on Mac OS OS X >= 10.8. Thank you very much for this! Please CC me about the new report, and I will confirm it immediately.
Have filed an enhancement-ticket in #55922
(In reply to comment #12) > Have filed an enhancement-ticket in #55922 Thank you! So I think we can close the present bug report, because the remaining issue is handled in bug 55922?!
Thank you, too. I've closed the bug.
