I'm sorry, I don't understand what you might mean writing "if you switch to
Writer it might confuse users". Who is "you" and who is "users" in that
sentence? Just in case, this issue is about *user* explicitly opened some file
using some specific filter (PDF is an example; it might be a CSV having TXT
extension, which is quite common), and so has that element in own recent list;
then when *that same user* opens *that same file* from the recent list, the
file is open using a *different* filter.
