Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org-gtk

Using Karmic 32-bit with openoffice 3.1.1 OOO310m19 build 9420.
Documents opened from openoffice native 'recent documents' list are not added to the gnome 'recent documents' list

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open an openoffice document and close it.
2. Open 10 non-openoffice documents, such as media clips or text files, so the gnome 'recent documents' list if filled with them.
3. Open oopenoffice and use file->recent documents menu to re-open the openoffice document from step 1 and close it.

Expected results:
The openoffice document will be added to the gnome 'recent documents' list.

Actual results:
The openoffice document is not added to the gnome 'recent documents' list.

This bug actually renders the gnome 'recent documents' list quite useless for me, as I cannot be sure my documents will actually appear in it.

I can confirm this bug.
The correct behaviour can be observed with gedit for example : opening a document from its recent list pushes it to gnome recent documents list.

Changed in openoffice.org (Ubuntu):

This bug is not a duplicate of bug #66933.
Opening documents through the openoffice file->open dialog adds them to the gnome recent documents list. The problem is unique to the case of opening a document through the OOO recent document list.

Its not exactly the same bug but I think the upstream fix probably fixes both cases which is why I merged them.
