When opening symbols, open the compilation unit from the relevant project

• Open the multi module spring boot project which has spring beans spans over different modules in the workspace.
• Search for a spring bean like a REST Controller symbol in the symbol explorer
• Open the symbole

The symbol is opened as a source file outside the project, its just uses the parent project and then open the file from the parent project. This disables all the Java navigation since the file is not opened as CU in Eclipse.

I think this is fixed with the contribution made to the LSP4E project, so closing here as fixed. Will ship as part of the next release, probably next week, and as part of the latest LSP4E releases in general.
