Package: gnome-common
Version: 3.18.0-4
Severity: normal
File: gnome

Dear Maintainer,

in recent versions of gnome I found, that the file-chooser dialog is
somhow inconsistent...

## Steps to reproduce

 1. use whichever gnome software you want
 2. open the file chooser either to load or to save a file
 3. notice that there sometimes is a "recently used" item and sometimes not

## Current behavior
"Recently used" file list appears in some cases and is missing in others ...

## Expected outcome
A "recently used" entry is present at each and every file chooser (as it used to be)
In a "save" chooser I'd expect it to be a list of recently used directories to save my file into,
in an "open" chooser it should be a list of recently used files of suitable file-type for the application
