Thank you for the report. It's actually one of the long-standing issues...
I'll dig into it again in the new year holidays.

I improved several points regarding this issue including the latest CotEditor 4.8.3.
So, now I’d like to know again if the issue still exists in the latest environments.

In my understanding, the following case is exceptionally in spec (by Apple) in that the recent items are cleared when you switch CotEditor between the App Store version, non-App Store version, and development version.
(Therefore, it is difficult for me to reproduce the issue...)
If your issue is not in this case, it would be a bug.
