Description

Do Ctrl+Left Mouse Click (or Right Mouse Click and select Find Declaration) several times on different class names and eventually Find Declaration resists to navigate away to where the declaration is located. However if you hover the mouse cursor over the class name it shows the declaration location in the tool-tip.

This may not be an obvious problem as it happens only on one large project (1.2 million lines of code). Find Declaration works fine on 2 other small projects.

The SWF movie demonstrating the problem is attached.

I wonder that this is not a top theme. In Delphi 2007 it works in most cases you call the function twice. In Delphi 2010 maybe it works in the same unit, if it is simple. But to find a declaration in an other project unit is rare. To find a declaration in the search path is nearly impossible. This is a basic function for the IDE. Other IDEs like VS or Lazarus do this task correct.
