Right-clicking on a dash item to see recent documents (called 'quicklists' sometimes) is not working on my install of Ubuntu with any of the LibreOffice apps. 

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Gnome 42.5

Initially reported to GNOME but they indicated this is an UBUNTU issue (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/6398#note_1671815) --> See for more images this link.

Then reported to Ubuntu but they indicated this is a LibreOffice issue:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock/+bug/2007281 

As a sidenote: I use the Dash to Panel dock for Ubuntu, I think many people do, but LO quicklists are not working on the regular Ubuntu Dock, nor on Dash to Panel. It does seem like there is a slightly different system for it, since quicklists work for the Ubuntu file manager on Ubuntu Dock, but not on Dash to Panel.

Could see the "quicklist" here on OpenSUSE 15.4 64bit rpm Linux with KDE. Recent documents will be shown with right mouseclick.

Why should this be a LibreOffice bug. The feature has nothing to do with LibreOffice. It is a feature of the window manager.

Hi, 
well I'm just a user, no expert: i reported it here because Ubuntu indicated it was a LO issue. 
With "window manager", do you mean the "file manager", like Thunar, Dolphin, etc? Or do you mean something else? THen I will make the bug report with them as well.

I haven't installed gtk3 to test behavior there. So I have looked in my KDE desktop, right mouseclick on the icon for starting, for example, Writer. I will get the last 5 opened Writer documents there. It will be the same behavior in other apps. Every right mouseclick on the icon for starting the application will show last 5 opened documents for this app.

It will have nothing to do with the file manager. Don't know where this information will be saved. I could only see it for the LO-Version of my distribution, because all other LO-Versions are installed as user-versions and won't be started through GUI of KDE.

ok so it sounds like this is either an Ubuntu or a Gnome issue.
I'll report back to them.

Have tested a little bit more. Installed KDE/Plasma on Ubuntu 22.04 (on a very old laptop). Had a look at 
Settings → Workspace behavior → Activities → Privacy → Remember open documents
There will appear only 3 special KDE-apps.
Having a look at OpenSUSE. It is filled with all apps I have installed - also LibreOffice.

Seems there is missing something from Ubuntu, not from LibreOffice.

OK thanks so much for doing additional testing, I really appreciate it. I'll let the people at Ubuntu and Gnome know.
