Using the same field of the same struct as my screenshot from yesterday, I looked at the Context/Definition bar at the top of the editor window. Interestingly, it shows the wrong thing (the class data member of the same name):




If I do an Alt-G, it then (logically) takes me to the wrong definition.

At some point yesterday, I had considered if this might simply be another instance of the bug I reported in https://forums.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=14008 https://flappy-bird.co back in 2017, but the struct in question is using the "tag workaround" you had proposed there.

For the sake of this investigation, if I rename the symbol to something that doesn't have the same name, then Find References seems to work as expected. Interestingly, even in this case (i.e., with the renamed symbol), the Context and Definition bars are blank as you guessed, so maybe that is still a clue.

I will say, however, that I don't think every instance of missing results that I've seen has been due to conflicting names. I'll try to find a different/better example, but I've also see the results be inconsistent.

Attempt to reproduce the issue with different code constructs or scenarios in your codebase. While it may not always be possible to create a simple reproducible case, identifying specific patterns or scenarios where Find References fails to return expected results can help narrow down the problem.
