Looks to me that the 'Recent files' menu item needs to be removed, unless a way can be found to re-port the old behaviour into the Unity menus again. No point having that entry with just 'Reopen closed tabs' in it; it's misleading.
I don't like the Gnome "Open \/" menu so much as it doesn't work well at all with the keyboard. If I type alt-O, then I can't type alt-D to open the 'Other Documents' button, because Unity assumes I want the Document menu in the main menu-bar. Also, there is no alt-O-1, alt-O-2 keybinding to quickly access past files -- you have to hit the arrow keys until you highlight the file you want. Are convenient key-bindings falling from favour somehow? Same problems occurring all the time with LibreOffice these days too... -- 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/1570227 Title: Open Recent Items show as always empty in Gedit Status in gedit: New Status in gedit package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Gedit doesn't show the recently opened files under File -> Open Recent.
