As a workaround, it should help to "Go to symbol", it will open the full source of found declaration.

06/10/2021, 2:45 PM@Fleshgrinder that's not true. It was working before and now I don't see the sources. How do I attach the sources?

06/10/2021, 7:33 PM@Alexey Belkov [JB] that issue is 5 years old and that problem is still not solved. I'm looking at the Kotlin stdlib and half of the classes have sources, and the another half don't. The whole thing seems completely random. This greatly hinders discoverability of the Kotlin source which is sometimes a must to understand how things work since they contain the kdocs! Why can't you solve this in 5 years?

08/04/2021, 8:12 PM@Alexey Belkov [JB] is there an ETA on this? This BUG makes it impossible to properly debug Kotlin library code!
