Open recent and open type

[Mac Mac]

I have scite installed on multiple Debian machines and one Ubuntu.

The Ubuntu install is:

Version 5.5.6   Scintilla:5.5.6   Lexilla:5.4.4
    compiled for GTK:3.24.49

On the Debian boxes it is whatever apt installs. Looks to be 5.5.6-1

I open a particular file on a network drive on all the machines. On the Debian boxes it shows up in the Open>Recent list.

But, on the Ubuntu box, the file never appears in the Recent list.

Is this an Ubuntu issue?

Also, is it possible to have the Open dialog default to All files rather than all source?

Thanks.
