In desktop, 'Recent Sources' is not retaining new sources

[kerryo]

I have found that the "Recent sources" menu in Power BI Desktop is not working (at least not as I expected), steps to replicate the issue:

• Open Power BI Desktop
• Click on "Get Data"
• Get data from any data source (In my example a Snowflake connection) and load it into Power BI Desktop
• Click on “Recent sources” in the “Home” section of the ribbon.
• The “Most recent” displays the Snowflake connection as expected.
• Click on “More…”
• The “Recent Sources” modal dialog is displayed showing the new connection.
• Save the .pbix file.
• Close Power BI Desktop
• Open Power BI Desktop & load the previous pbix file
• Click on “Recent Sources”.
• PBI Desktop displays a the “Recent Sources” modal MINUS the new connection...
