Description michel_demazure 2007-07-30 10:23:18 UTC 
I have a method 'parse' in a file of my project.
Asking "go to declaration" in the same file sends once to ri, once to yaml...
Comment 1 Torbjorn Norbye 2007-10-15 18:39:32 UTC 
The root problem here is that when it doesn't know exactly which method is being referenced (e.g. it's not sure about
the type on the left hand side of the expression) it often has many possible methods to jump to. It uses a number of
heuristics to decide one which fits best - it examines the require statements in the current file, it looks at whether a
method has documentation or not, etc. But at the end of the day it may still have many alternatives and it finally just
picks one. 

The proper fix here is to make Go To Declaration produce a dropdown list in these cases such that you can easily choose
one. I don't know if I'll be able to do this for 6.0.  There are some other issues tracking this same problem.

Solved
Comment 3 Martin Krauskopf 2008-02-13 15:39:03 UTC 
Getting rid of 'ui' category. Will use right subcomponent and UI keyword. 'code'
when none subcomponent fits.
