Currently, any attempt to open a file which is already open moves it to the top of the Recent list. So, if you switch to a open file from a compiler message or a FiF match, it that file becomes the most recent. However, Find in Session displays basename:line matches, but selecting a file does not affect Recent.
In addition to the cases you mention, when files are opened from the previous session they are not moved to the top/added to the MRU list. So files that are open for a while fall off the list. This is very annoying when you accidently close them and then try to re-open them.
My sessions are usually longer than my recent list. So once a session is reloaded, any files I opened but later closed will be lost. And I need them more than the session files, which are loaded automatically as part of the session.
IMHO the MRU list should be a real Most Recently **USED** list, ie files go to the top when they are focussed for any reason.
That's consistent (but "loaded as part of a session" != **USED**).
Currently, "Recent Files" is grouped with "Open" and "Open Selected File", which suggests "Recently Open".
