Mac OSX Recent Windows not clearing

[JAG]

Hi there, I really like the Recent Windows feature but as of the past build (or two?) it no longer operates as a queue like it used to. Now as I open resources it fills up, and once its full it just stays that way and no longer updates so is pretty useless after a few minutes.

Is anyone else having this issue? Can I get it to go back to its queue behaviour somehow?

THanks!

You'll probably want to go into Preferences -> General Settings -> Recent Windows and ensure "Move focused window to top" is ticked - if it still doesn't work, could you file a bug?
You can also edit how big the queue is with the Maximum windows to display, as well as change it's behaviour to only show the open windows from there.
The "Open automatically on project load" option was for legacy projects as new projects have it open by default in the current layout, so isn't particularly useful these days.

@stuckie yes that worked tyvm! Im not sure why anyone would ever want to persist their older recent windows over their newer ones? When would I ever care where I had navigated 45 minutes ago over where I had navigated 1 minute ago? In any case thank you for the help!

Just tried this as well, and yes, this looks like a bug. We'll get that filed and fixed.

There is an option to move the most recent one to the top, but even when you don't, if you open an 11th item, the "least" used one should drop off and be replaced by the new one.
