C-] opens the definition on an existing buffer and not the current buffer

[dsdeiz]

For some weird reason C-] opens a definition on an existing buffer and not the current buffer. Is this an expected behavior?

Do you mean (this is my best guess) that if you have the file with the definition already in a buffer then it somehow makes a difference when hitting the c-] combination compared to when you don't?

I'm not sure what do you mean by existing vs current buffer. Could you please ellaborate on this?

Oops, sorry. This is how I can reproduce it:

1. Open a file which is now on window A.
2. C-W C-] on a function call (at this time it opens the file on window B and goes to the definition - somewhat messed up my terms, should've been window instead of buffer)
3. On window B, C-] on another function call. This time it opens the function definition on window A.

I was assuming on the 3rd step, it would simply open the file with the function definition on window B but instead it opened it on window A.

Oh, i see. This jump-to-definition feature works by vim's own :tag command (prefixed with the number) so i guess that this is how it's supposed to work, but would worth checking if the behaviour changes when the plugins is disabled.

[dsdeiz]

Yeah it's different without the plugin. On the 3rd step, it would open on window B when pressing C-] on a function call in window B. Not sure if it's relevant but :map <C-]> produces a call to phpcomplete#JumpToDefinition('normal').

Thanks for looking into this for me!
At this moment i have no clue of the reasons behind this, but I'll try to get the bottom of this.
