Description

Version and Platform (required):

  • Binary Ninja Version: 5.3 stable
  • Edition: Ultimate
  • OS: macOS
  • OS Version: 26
  • CPU Architecture: aarch64

Bug Description:
Navigating to a label that exists in a collapsed section of code fails.

Steps To Reproduce:

  1. Find a branch that contains a goto label
  2. Collapse that branch in linear view
  3. Go to a location that references that label
  4. Double-click the label
  5. The navigation won't fire

Expected Behavior:
In other software with a 'collapse' system, I am used to the collapsed area expanding and being navigated to the location afterward. So, this is my expectation here as well.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Binary Ninja 5.3 on macOS using the linear view: collapse a branch containing a goto label, then double-click a reference to that label. Trace the navigation path from the label reference and verify that the collapsed section expands and navigation reaches the label location.
