[Jonathan Thomas <Jonathan.Oomph@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am setting this bug status back to "Confirmed", because it still
happens on 11.10 and 12.04 (daily) and only when using Unity. It happens
with every GTK application that uses a GtkRecentChooserMenu, such as
Inkscape, OpenShot, etc...

This bug affects lots of applications, and I would love to see it fixed.
If someone feels this bug is not just related to Unity, please help
guide me on how to correctly categorize it.

Easy step to reproduce the bug:
Step 1) Login with Unity
Step 2) Create 2 SVG files in Inkscape (blue_circle.svg and red_square.svg)
Step 3) Launch Inkscape and choose (File->Open Recent-> and choose the 2nd item)

That's it.  It will always open the 1st item, and not the 2nd one.  If
you repeat these steps in Gnome Shell or Gnome classic it will work
correctly.  Thanks!

** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => Confirmed

Bug description:
  A GtkRecentChooserMenu is a submenu with recently used documents. It
  is used in Anjuta and I also use it in my own code (a patch to
  Xournal:
  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3249971&group_id=163434&atid=827735).
  It is probably being used by many more applications.

  When using the global menu, it is always the first entry that is
  opened, no matter which one you click. Looking at the source,
  GtkRecentChooserMenu uses gtk_menu_get_active to select the item. I'm
  guessing that the active item is not updated when using the global
  menu. It probably should be.
