Description

i defined a resource file, such as mykw.robot, and create my keyword "sayhello".

so in my test suite, i add mykw.robot as resource and create a test case, i call this keyword by
mykw.sayhello

but when i right click the keyword "sayhello" in mykw.robot, RIDE shows no result can be found.

Please help investigate this case and fix it if possible.

Thanks

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in RIDE using the resource file mykw.robot, the sayhello keyword, and a test suite that calls it as mykw.sayhello. Trace the Find usage entry point from the right-click action and compare lookup behavior for the qualified keyword; done means the usage in the test suite is returned.
