Describe the issue:

In some cases, holding Ctrl and clicking on the name of a function doesn't go to the function definition, for instance if a comment has the same name as the function. In the example below, the cursor is moved to the comment instead of the function definition. This only occurs if the comment has 4 dashes or more (maybe because it's recognized as a section?):

my_function <- function() 1

# my_function ----

my_function(1)

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Put this code in a file:

my_function <- function() 1

# my_function ----

my_function(1)

2. Ctrl+click on my_function(1)

Expected or desired behavior:

Cursor should go to the function definition on the first line.

Were there any error messages in the UI, Output panel, or Developer Tools console?

No

Note that it seems to break only when ---- has been added to the comment. When it's just the function name, the navigation works.
