Open Recent list is empty or limited to 2–3 documents
-
In the last one or two builds, I’ve noticed that File → Open Recent is frequently empty or contains only two or three documents. Previously, it consistently displayed a much longer list.
My setting is:
VectorStyler → Settings → Document View → Recent Documents: 32
This setting has remained at 32, but VectorStyler is no longer retaining or displaying that number of recent documents.
Expected behavior: The Open Recent menu retains and displays up to 32 documents.
Current behavior: The menu is either empty or displays only two or three documents.

@Boldline I will open a bug on this. One thing that may cause this is the loading of another workspace
-
@VectorStyler Ohhh that would make more sense now. Sometimes I reload my workspace to clear up the screen when I've got panels strewn around the screen.
-
@Boldline I will try to make changes so these are not stored in the workspace
-
@VectorStyler That sounds like the best solution. Recent documents and the Recent Documents limit should probably remain application-level settings rather than being stored in a workspace.
A workspace should restore interface-related items such as panel positions, panel visibility, toolbars, and window layout. Loading or reloading a workspace should not clear or replace the user’s recent-document history.
This would let users reload a workspace to clean up or restore the interface without unexpectedly losing their Open Recent list.
