Symptoms

After upgrading Confluence to 3.2 or later the {recently-updated} macro on the Confluence Dashboard no longer filters results based on the selected tab in the 'Spaces' list in the bottom left of the page.

Cause

This is caused by not dashboard layout customizations not being reapplied during an upgrade. 

Resolution

Reapply any customisations during the upgrade process as detailed in Upgrading Confluence.
