Symptoms

Special characters or german mutated vowels in the PeopleCode comments make the "View Function" functionality(right-click on the function name, a dropdown appears to navigate to the function) is not triggered correctly.

Steps:-
--------
1. Open Record – PRCSRQSTDLG_WRK
2. Open PeopleCode from RECURNAME Field
3. Add a simple comment before a function declaration i.e. /* this is a simple comment */
4. Check the function and the comment - View Function can be seen only when trying right-click on the function name
5. Add some special chars in the comment i.e. - /* this is a simple comment with 10 umlautes üüüüüüüüüü */
6. Check the function and the comment - View Function cannot be seen when trying to right-click the last 10 characters from the function name
7. Add more special chars to the comment i.e. /* this is a simple comment with 40 umlautes üüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüü */
8. Check the function and the comment - View Function cannot be seen when trying to right click the function name & View Function can be seen when right-clicking in the comment
