clicking on a recent document in the recent documents menu does not make it the most recent

[Imre Péntek]

Hello, I tend to use one of my documents only by clicking it in the places->recently used documents menu (I hope I translate it back from hungarian correctly), since it's easier to do so than any other solution. This way that exact document, no matter how often I use it gets swapped out by other irregularily used ones, which are only assumed to be used more recently becouse clicking any document in this menu doesn't counts toward recent usage. Well, maybe there are other conditions to be met, but this document gets swapped out, no matter this is the only one I use several times a day.

I found it works only for some document types, and don't work for others. So steps to reproduce:
imi@most:~$ mkdir testdir
imi@most:~$ cd testdir/
imi@most:~/testdir$ seq 1 20|xargs -i% echo 'echo % > %.txt'|bash

and now create a testing.ods (ooo spreadsheet) document

imi@most:~/testdir$ ls
10.txt 13.txt 16.txt 19.txt 2.txt 5.txt 8.txt
11.txt 14.txt 17.txt 1.txt 3.txt 6.txt 9.txt
12.txt 15.txt 18.txt 20.txt 4.txt 7.txt testing.ods

now open this direcory with nautilus, and open&close the documents in this order:
testing.ods (doubleclicking in the nautilus window)
1.txt (doubleclicking in the nautilus window)
testing.ods (using the recently used menu)
2.txt (doubleclicking in the nautilus window)
testing.ods (using the recently used menu)
3.txt (doubleclicking in the nautilus window)
testing.ods (using the recently used menu)

and so on. After you open&close 10.txt, testing.ods would swap out of the menu. reproducible.

not confirming, what ubuntu version do you use?

seems openoffice doesn't update the list as it should
