Visual studio GoTo definition Jumps to beginning of file if it isnt opened

Whenever i press F12 or Ctrl+click or rightclick on a method/property/whatever and want to do a GoToDefinition, if the file containing the method/property/whatever isn't already opened in visual studio it will only open the file and fail to scroll to the wanted method/property/whatever. However, if the file is already opened it will succeed with the operation.

I have both Visual studio 2019 and 2022 installed and I have this behaviour on both.

Resharper have been installed on both previously.
