Description
How to recreate:
- Configure editor to have multiple splits open. In my example I have two horizontal editor splits.
- Open a source file in first split
- Click in the second split to give it focus
- ctrl+click on a symbol in the first split
Expected outcome:
- The the file where the symbol is defined should open in the split that was focused (the second split)
Actual outcome:
- The file where the symbol is defined opens, but not in the desired split. It opens in the first split instead.
This behavior started happening a few versions back, I think when the icons changed to the slimmer profile.
Being able to designate which split to open symbols in is IMO very important.
NOTE: the designation of split by clicking still works as expected when opening files from the file chooser/project view in the left sidebar, suggesting this is a bug.
Please find the short screen capture showing that designation of split to open files works while the designation of splits to open files for ctrl+clicking of symbols does no:
