I'm wonder what the value for max.recents under org.gnome.gedit.preferences.ui in dconf is. > The issue you are reporting is an upstream one Upstream development happens in git master and 3.14 so upstream isn't too interested about reports from older, unsupported versions like 3.10. Furthermore, the UI (and the code behind) has changed a lot in 3.14 so it would be good if someone could first reproduce the problem on 3.14. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1320691 Title: Gedit does not display latest files opened Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome: Unknown Status in gedit package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The Gedit text editor have a useful feature which is called "Latest Opened Files". This feature list the most recent files opened on a list after click in an arrow close to the "Open" button on the Toolbar. On my system, I click the arrow to get the list but all that I get is "No items found" where files name should be. After a month of use, I've opened files on Gedit through command line, double clicking on Nautilus and under Gedit using the "Open" button and File -> Open... and File -> Quick Open... menus. Still no recent file appears.
