Description

I am running Open Office on a 64bit Windows 1o desktop.

Since downloading the recent update I am disappointed to see one feature appears to have been removed.
When I want to go back to a file I have used recently  I would click on the start button and then right click on the Open Office Writer short cut icon that appeared. As with MS Word, Acrobat Reader etc.  a list of "recent" documents would pop up.
The Writer icon had quite a short list, but it was nevertheless useful. Right clicking give me only the options of: "Unpin from Start", "resize", "Uninstall" and "More" which in turn offers only "pin to taskbar", "run as administrator" and "open file location".

So I have to open Open Office, open Writer (so a new document appears) and only then, within writer can I access "recent documents" from an element in a submenu.

So I am writing to express my disappointment in the hope that this may be reinstated in due course.
