Maybe some test project could be needed here to investigate the problem further.

Delphi 2009 has the same behaviour where selecting Find Declaration on a procedure or function identifier (perhaps other things as well) would focus on a random location rather than where the requested declaration exist.

Also, the structure treeview in Delphi 2009 misreport perfectly fine code as erroneous. Not sure but maybe that is something to do with the Find Declaration error. Delphi is probably keeping some kind of separate data structure to map out code parts, and this structure isn't useful to the compiler because everything compiles just fine. That structure may be partially freed in order to make way for more crucial things when low on free memory. Anyway, that is just my guess. I am running a Windows XP SP2 machine with 512MB of RAM, which is half of what is said to be required for running Delphi. On the other hand, while these errors occur I can say that my machine has seen worse days when it comes down to memory running Delphi 2009 along with other large applications, so it seems kind of strange if I should only blame memory conditions.

Could you provide Steps to reproduce this issue?
