Open Recent only opens the very last job

[Roberto Delgado]

OS: Ubuntu 12.04 64bits

Inkscape 0.48+devel r11556

Failed to open any of the latest designs. Every time I tried only opens the very last one. If I exported my last job to PNG that one is the one who opens. I know this is something that was fixed a time ago but now the bug is back. Start happening after the last update.

Update of what? Did you change your desktop to Unity lately?

Very likely a duplicate of
Bug #752674 “GtkRecentChooserMenu always selects first entry”

Yes, I'm using Unity and yes, is very like a dublicate of what you sugest, but this stop happening a long time ago and now starts happening again.

Possibly you changed the way you launch Inkscape (e.g. as root vs normal user), or had disabled the AppMenu otherwise?

AFAICT there had been no changes in Inkscape's source base lately wrt the menu entries in 'File > Open recent…'.
Bug #752674 occurs only with the Application menu module for GTK+ (used with Unity), and affects stable Inkscape versions as well as trunk builds.

'File > Open Recent…' works as expected with Inkscape 0.47, 0.48.x and Inkscape 0.48+devel r11473 on Mac OS X 10.5.8 (GTK+/X11 2.24.8, GTK+/Quartz 2.24.10) and OS X 10.7.4 (GTK+/X11 2.24.10, GTK+/Quartz 2.24.11) - all using the normal GTK+ menu at the top of the application window (not the global menubar).

Linking as duplicate to Bug #752674 (it is not a regression in recent trunk builds of Inkscape).

Please add a comment here and revert the duplicate status if you don't agree and can provide additional data which indicates more strongly that this is indeed a regression in recent Inkscape trunk builds.

Thank you! I have switch to gnome classic desktop, you're right, the problem is Unity. Inkscape is working fine.
