Bug Description
Ubuntu 16.04, evolution-
Open an email with an attachment, and click on the button to save the attachment. A file chooser dialog appears. The bug is that it is not possible to select the recently used documents.
Note that other gtk-3 file dialogs show the recently used documents even in save dialogs. Evolution-3.18 seemed to have disabled this feature although it is super-practical when you want to save many files (e.g. email attachments) to the same directory. Earlier versions of evolution supported this.

Can you give examples of apps that show 'Recent' in the Save dialog?
I checked Text Editor (gedit) in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and it shows 'Recent' for Open but not for Save.
