Comment 50 for bug 950071

To clarify: As this bug was present in LO 3.5.0, if you migrated from < 3.5.0 to LO 3.5.0 and now to LO 3.5.1, the issue will still appear to be present (as it happens when the user data is migrated, and that happened for you when migrating from < 3.5.0 to LO 3.5.0).

You can resolve it manually by removing the LO 3.5 user data (Linux: ~/.config/libreoffice/3/user). Upon next LO start, fresh user data should be created and newly saved documents should start to appear in the recent documents list.

Optionally, you can also remove the marker file indicating that the < 3.5.0 user data had already been migrated (Linux: ~/.libreoffice/3/MIGRATED etc., depending on what your < 3.5.0 actually was). Then, your old user data should be migrated upon the first LO start after removing the LO 3.5 user data. (But note that the recent documents list is never migrated, see comment 13.)
