Goto location doesn't work when symbol is not in the field of view

[liuyangzys]

nvim version 0.9.0

when I press to goto the location of a symbol, if the symbols is not in the field of view, the cursor jump to a wrong place

I have the same issue.

I was having the same issue and I think it has to do with an internal race on how the cursor position handling occurs when switching windows.

Adding this to my config to override the default goto_location handling has locally resolved the issue for me. I just don't know if its the right approach to fixing it.

Plugin.opts = {
  keymaps = { -- These keymaps can be a string or a table for multiple keys
    goto_location = {},
  },
}

Plugin.config = function(_, opts)
  require("symbols-outline").setup(opts)

  vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("FileType", {
    pattern = "Outline",
    callback = function()
      vim.keymap.set("n", "<CR>", function()
        local outline = require("symbols-outline")
        local node = outline._current_node()

        vim.api.nvim_win_set_cursor(outline.state.code_win, { node.line + 1, node.character })

        vim.schedule(function()
          vim.fn.win_gotoid(outline.state.code_win)
        end)
      end, { buffer = true })
    end,
  })
end

The key seems to be deferring win_gotoid just enough.

Same issue here, if it helps, I'm using the plugin in combination with LazyVim.
