Bug Description

Binary package hint: deskbar-applet

This behavior was displayed in a system upgraded from Dapper to Edgy 32 bit.
If a search for filenames is done by deskbar that results in an existing document file in .odt format, that file will not appear in the Places>Recent Documents list, even though you opened the document in Open Office Writer, made changes and saved it.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Alt/F3 to invoke deskbar
2) type in part of document name
3) In search window, double click the found document to open it in Open Office Writer.
4) Make changes to document and save it. Then close writer.
5) Look in Places>Recent Documents list.
6) The document will not be listed.

Expected Behavior:
After opening, modifying and saving a document, it should appear in the Recent Documents list.

This sounds like good news.
Does it mean a patch will be issued soon as a normal update that my update manager will notify me of?
