Editing packages

[cmj]

In v5, when editing a package body, I was accustomed to clicking on a procedure or cursor name in the browser and jumping to the beginning of that object. In 6.0.2.88, it seems to work only most of the time. I keep finding myself in situations where I click my little heart out but the edit cursor doesn't budge.

I'm sure it must be explained in the documentation somewhere, but I can't see it. How can I get it to ALWAYS go to the object I click on in the browser?

My experience has been that if I am in the unit it does no good to click on the browser entry for that unit.

My work around is to click the unit above/below where I want and then on the one that I want. If I am not feeling especially lazy I'll open the node for that unit and click on the Parameter List node for the unit.

That work around is fine if you didn't sort the browser list.

My workaround is to push the PgUp button

I have a similar problem:
sometimes (didn't realize situation) i can't get to any entry.
in such case the "+" of the procedure disapear and the cursor doesn't move.

I can get rid of this problems sometimes with compiling, sometimes i had to close + reopen the file...
To prevent this i often work with the bookmarks.
