Thank you for your reply Björn, Apparently there is a fix for this bug released in LO 3.5.1 but I did not test it. (see comment 17 of link [2] below)
I found two interesting pages about the issue: [1] http://ask.libreoffice.org/question/254/why-is-the-recent-documents-list-empty-in-35 [2] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46074 Removing ~/.libreoffice did not work. Apparently LO is storing registry in ~/.config/libreoffice but moving ~/.config/libreoffice did not work either. I've tried all combinations they suggested with no luck. So I uninstalled every package of LO completely from synaptic and installed LO suite again and now it works fine. ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #46074 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46074 ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/950071 Title: LibreOffice Recent documents list is always empty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/950071/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
