Description Jon Kleiser 2016-01-27 12:28:48 UTC
When a window showing database query results is the frontmost window, then there is no menu item 'Recent Documents' on the 'File' menu. This can be confusing and inconvenient.
When the query results is behind the main .odb window, however, then the menu item 'Recent Documents' is showing.

Confirmed


If you have time to try older versions, would be good to know if this is a regression or not (at least by testing 3.3)

If it's a regression please let us know what version worked and add "regression" to keywords. Thanks!

I have now tried LibreOffice 4.4.7.2 on my Mac, and it has the same problem as version 5.0.4.2 (re. 'Recent Documents’).

In addition, 4.4.7.2 uses more than a minute opening an Oracle JDBC connection, while 5.0.4.2 uses some 30 seconds (which is also quite slow).

I also tried version 3.3.0, but it could not open my database queries, as it could not find my Java Runtime Environment.
