Description
The "Find declaration" entry in the editor window context menu works fine, but invocation by CTRL-SHIFT-up/down can fail.

//USc: This issue could be related to QC 67492 (#267286)
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a new VCL application, add a TabControl to the form. From there navigate to TCustomTabControl declaration in ComCtrls.pas.

In ComCtrls I cannot navigate to any of the methods of TCustomTabControl, from the declaration in the interface section, using CTRL-SHIFT-up/down.
Restarting RAD Studio doesn't help  :-(

The context menu "Find declaration" works for e.g. constructor Create,
jumping from the declaration (line 133) to the definitition (line 5177) .

But when I then want to navigate back to the declaration again, I end up at the TTabStrings.Put declaration. From there I can properly switch between Put declaration (line 4981) and definition (line 5100), using CTRL-SHIFT-up/down. From FTabControl: CustomTabControl; (line 4976) I also can reach TCustomTabControl (line 47) again, by using CTRL-click.


A slightly different situation:

From TTabStrings declaration the keyboard shortcuts work for most methods, except the last one: procedure Insert (line 4991).
Workarounds
Use the context menu "Find declaration" instead of CTRL-SHIFT-up/down, it seems to work reliably.
