In Numbers for Mac "File > Open Recent" is empty

I have a few spreadsheets that I edit frequently. Until recently they would always be in the list in File > Open Recent.

Recently this menu has been showing "Clear menu" and nothing else - i.e. it's not showing my recent spreadsheets, and it's saying "Clear menu" when it's not showing any sheets to clear...


My Mac is running the latest version of macOS (15.0.1) and Numbers (version 14.2 (7041.0.109))


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.0

This is annoying bug that needs to be fixed. "Open Recent" has always worked flawlessly in Numbers and Pages until recently. It is not sufficient to tell users to "Try navigating to the documents and opening them". Of course that works, but it does not restore the "Open Recent" function.
