OSX 10.8 is handling LibreOffice's recently used docs next to the symbbol automatically. Therefore the Symbol's "file"->"recently used docs" should be removed, as it is a bit confusing to see two similar lists with different presentation side-by-side. See explaining screenshots in #53051
Confirmed, cf. discussion in bug 53051. Direkt link to the screenshots: * Old behaviour (Mac OS X 10.6): attachment 67678 [details]. * New behaviour (Mac OS X 10.8): attachment 67682 [details]. The latter shows that the sub-sub-menu “recently used documents”, while useful on Mac OS X 10.6, is no longer necessary, but an irritating duplication on Mac OS X >= 10.8. So LibreOffice should check the Mac OS X version on startup and, if it finds that the version is >= 10.8, just not add the sub-sub-menu “recently used documents”.
Are we talking about the File:Recent Documents menu here, or that thing from Control-clicking on the Dock's LibreOffice icon?

The Dock still displays both lists of recently used items in version 5.3.0.3.
If we remove it from the dock icon, it gets removed from the file menu when start center is closed, do we want to do this?

Now it's fixed no need "needsDevEval" anymore. I don't have a Mac but considering the too rare fixes for macOS specific bugs, thank you Khaled!
