Description Sebastien Bacher 2004-10-11 14:48:16 UTC
This bug has been reported here:  https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/2224

"Selecting a file to open from the Computer->Recent Documents list results in a
new file of the same type if the file no longer exists.  Perhaps a better
default behavior is to tell the user the file doesn't exist or has been moved
and to give the user the option to create a new file of the same type."
Comment 1 Vincent Untz 2004-10-15 14:49:11 UTC
This is a problem in recent-files: if the file doesn't exist any more, it should
not appear in the list. IIRC, this was implemented before, but removed because
it used FAM (and blocked lot of stuff)...
