When opening the file from nautilus, it is correctly added to the list
of recently used files.

When opening the file from within libreoffice (snap) however, the file
is added to the sandboxed list:
$HOME/snap/libreoffice/current/.local/share/recently-used.xbel.

Nautilus handles one single list of recently used files.

This is not specific to the libreoffice snap, other snaps using the
GtkRecentManager API will suffer the same problem.

I am not sure whether we really want to do something about this though:
exposing which files were open by a sandboxed application for the entire
system (and every unsandboxed application out there) to see seems like
an important information leak to me.

** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

- [Snap] Documents opened with libreoffice snap do not appear in "recent files" 
list of nautilus

Title:
  [snap] Documents opened with libreoffice snap do not appear in "recent
  files" list of nautilus

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm not sure if it's nautilus or Gnome shell keeping the list of recent 
files. I'm talking about this file:
   ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel
  It usually contains all recently used files. However, if you open some file 
with the libreoffice snap, it won't get added to this list. Consequently, it 
will not later appear in the "recently used" section of nautilus, nor will the 
Gnome shell "recent files" plugin list it.

  It is, however, in Libreoffice's own recent files list
  (Files->Recently used documents)
