Description

Version and Platform (required):

  • Binary Ninja Version: 5.3.8844-dev Ultimate, 29d8484
  • OS: macos
  • OS Version: 26.2.0
  • CPU Architecture: arm64

Bug Description:
If I have Workflow View open and double click on a function, the bar at the top of the Workflow View blinks, and nothing happens.

Steps To Reproduce:

  1. Open database
  2. Open Workflow View
  3. Open Symbols pane (probably already open)
  4. Double click on _start in Symbols pane
  5. Notice bar at top of Workflow view blink.
  6. Notice that nothing else happens.

Expected Behavior:
Behavior should be the same as all the other Views like Strings, Types, and Memory Map to name a few. If you double click on a function in the Symbols pane with those views open, a view of that function is navigated to in your main view area.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Workflow View with the Symbols pane open, using the listed steps on macOS. Compare the double-click behavior with the Strings, Types, and Memory Map views; done means selecting a function navigates the main view area instead of only blinking the Workflow View bar.
