Local files override problem

I have local files in my project that override files in a library. The files are in the same folder as the .ino file.
The files are correctly picked up when the project is built.

However, if I right click a variable that is in the local file (from another file) and click on Go To Definition the file in the library opens and not the local file.
Interestingly, hovering on the tab shows the path to the library file and underneath says the tab is using this color because the file belongs to the project, the tab color is correct for the project. I have colored tabs enabled.

The open file is the library file and not the local file.

Thanks for the report.

Are the files in the project which override the library all present in Solution Explorer?

If not you can click vMicro > Ensure all files in project, which will scan the project structure and add in any missing files.
