Ctrl+Click goes to wrong step when two steps share a prefix

[NikkTod]

Problem summary

I have two steps where one is a prefix of the other:

And I click on "X"
And I click on "X" for table row with label "Y"

Step definitions (decorators):

https://github.com/when('I click on {string}')

https://github.com/when('I click on {string} for table row with label {string}')

Actual behavior

With default settings, Ctrl+Click on the long step in the .feature file jumps to the short step definition.

Expected behavior

Ctrl+Click on I click on "{string}" for table row with label "{string}" should navigate to its own definition, not the shorter one.

"cucumberautocomplete.syncfeatures": "src/**/*.feature",
"cucumberautocomplete.strictGherkinCompletion": false,
"cucumberautocomplete.strictGherkinValidation": false,
"cucumberautocomplete.smartSnippets": true,
"cucumberautocomplete.onTypeFormat": true,
"editor.quickSuggestions": {
"comments": false,
"strings": true,
"other": true
},

I also tried pureTextSteps = true, but it did not help

I think the issue here is that in the background this is turned into the regex /I click on .*/
It will match any string after that initial text.

So any step text matching the second definition will also be a match for the first. And when this happens the first matching step is returned.

A workaround is to order the steps so the more specific step def comes first and the shorter more generic step afterwards in the file. This way your intended step will be returned first.
