What happened with the Dev-C++ browser issue?

    A couple of days before I posted a question regarding the class browser. I find rather unusual that nobody has actually bothered answering what I consider a crucial issue regarding the quality of Dev-C++ version 4.9.8.4 (...whatever: the last one fellows).

    Making the nagging shorter: After opening the class browser, once you open the class declaration the class browser never finds the actual functions declaration: it keeps returning to the declaration (*.hpp file). I tried swapping, etc, but no accurate location of the actual functions' body in the source files.

    Can anyone provide some input on this issue?

    Greeting to all, VH

    Apologies:  I posted the same on the wrong thread...sorry for that.

      This is a known bug, sometimes Dev-C++ doesn't go to the implementation correctly.

      Yep, I thought so, and guess that as the application grows it turns more complicated to hunt the bugs down. 

      I have found that sometimes the browser does recognise the exact location of the functions implementation, but not in some others (?).  I don't know if this will help, but another behaviur I have detected has to do with the editor opening the declaration file everytime you click on a functions declaration on the class browser.  In other words, I closed the declaration file, but the browser appears to force the editor to open the *.hpp file.  BTW, the browser always locates the functions declaration within the *.hpp file with accuracy. 

      PS: This little problem does not turn so detrimental, for at the end Dev-C++ allows to bookmark any specific location within the source files.
