Thanks for the report! Do you know when was the last time you updated before that? Which OS? EDIT: I can reproduce it locally as well… We’re on it! EDIT 2: A PR is soon landing. EDIT 3: The Pr is now building on CI, expect a new release within the hour. ---

I don’t have any freezing issues on my PC. ```lua INFO:GRAPHICS: Installed graphics device 'ADAPTER_FAMILY_OPENGL' INFO:ENGINE: Defold Engine 1.12.3 (1ed058d) ``` ---

> [@Mathias\_Westerdahl](#): > > **FIX** : ([#11886,#6260](https://github.com/defold/defold/pull/11931)) **‘Show function list in the right sidebar’** by vlaaad This is a really a welcome addition and a great release overall! I was wondering if there is in the plan to create also a quick jump to symbol in the current file using something like the file open dialog, with a fuzzy finder search. I like working with big script/lua files and not having to leave the keyboard to jump to a function would be a great time saver (and also reduce my rsi) ---

We have a Go To Definition key binding which uses LSP for navigation. I would imagine that some kind of fuzzy search for definitions would be relatively easy to implement. Go ahead and create a feature request on GH! ---
