From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: The Recent Documents submenu under Places behaves oddly. More than once I've witnessed the document clear itself of all entries (once after a logout, many times during regular use). Furthermore, any *.odt files which appear in the list seem to lose their association with the OpenOffice 2 Writer application, leaving the user unable to access them through this menu. Nautilus, however, has never (for me) lost the above file associations, for whatever that's worth. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.10.1-10.2 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an ODT in OpenOffice 2 and save it to the hard drive. 2. Try to access the file through the Recent Documents submenu 3. More often than not, the file-to-application association will be lost, and the user will receive an error message about not being able to find a suitable application. Actual Results: An error dialog appeared with a title of "Error" and the following message: Cannot open recently used document Details: Couldn't find a suitable application Expected Results: Document should have opened in OpenOffice 2 Writer application. Additional info: On a few occassions the document has opened properly, but in each instance the association has later been lost. I can't say for certain, but it seems as though this only happens AFTER I've opened a different document type and that particular file has been added to the list of Recent Documents list.
For me, the Recent Documents will sometimes be empty, but as soon as I open a document (by double-clicking on it in Nautilus), the Recent Documents will be full of names again.
