Description:
This has frustrated me in 5.2.34 and it appears in 5.2.35 as well.  I work with several saved scripts and find a recently used items menu useful.  Unfortunately every time I open one of the recently used scripts from "Open Recent" menu, that script is moved to the top of the recently used items list - but only internally.  The "Open Recent" menu options are not updated to match.  It becomes impossible to use this menu because who knows what the actual order is?  This is present on both Linux and MacOS versions.

How to repeat:
Establish a connection in Workbench and open 2 or more sql scripts.  Close the connection and reconnect.  File->Open Recent.  Select the #2 script.  The #2 script is now the #1 script, but the menu does not reflect it.  Close the #2 script.  File->Open Recent again. Open the #2 script again.  You will see the #1 script even though you clicked the #2 script, because #1 has become #2 in menu logic.

Suggested fix:
Populate "Open Recent" menu during menu open event.

Sorry I did a pretty thorough check beforehand too.  Couldn't find it.
