Description

Right click on an identifier and select ?ind declaration? This usually works but every once in while it cannot find the correct location in the code. Sorry, no info on how to re-create.

this occurs also with 16.0.4429.46931. Even Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down stop working sometimes. You will never get a Step-by-Step reproduction of this error, so does that mean you are not planning to solve this?

Steps to Reproduce:

Here are the steps:
1. work with Delphi for at least 1 hour
2. open different big projects
3. go into the implementation part
4. move cursor into a function which is defined in interface part
5. press Ctrl+Shift+Cursor Up
6. Delphi does not jump to the definition, instead it jumps to the beginning of the function in the implementation part

Ok, if you find steps to reproduce your issue, please update [Steps] field and attach sample project.

I (and my colleagues) have sporadically the same problem, so the existence of a common problem ca be confirmed. Not for all problems you can give steps to reproduce. Ignoring such problems does not help to improve Delphis quality.

Again: this is a very old problem, at least since Delphi 2006. Why not giving a try to fix it?

Do you have any sample project and steps to reproduce your issue?
If so, could you please put QC report?

and, if possible, please contact technical support service for more intensive support.

I guess it is related to this issue. Current IDE of Update 3 has memory leak issue while debugging.
So, if possible, could you please retest your issue with upcoming next update release(e.g., Update 4)?
