Intellij VIM mode, jump-list (CTRL-O) not recording navigation

Question

I can use Ctrl+] to jump to the definition of the word under the cursor, and I can use Ctrl+O to jump back to where I came from. But if I do something like control-click on something, that jump list does not seem to record where I came from. Ctrl+O then will not jump back to where I was when I control-clicked.

Is there a way to make sure that the jump list will not miss this?

TAG NAVIGATION

The tag stack stores all tags used to jump to/from.

• ctrl] is used to follow the tag under the cursor.
• ctrlt is used to jump to the previous entry in the tag stack.
• :tag is used to jump to the next entry in the tag stack.

JUMP NAVIGATION

The jump list stores all positions the cursor jumped to/from. According to Vim's documentation, motion is considered a "jump" in the following conditions:

A "jump" is one of the following commands: "'"', "`", "G", "/", "?", "n",
"N", "%", "(", ")", "[[", "]]", "{", "}", ":s", ":tag", "L", "M", "H" and
the commands that start editing a new file.

• ctrlo is used to move cursor do older entry in jump list.
• ctrli is used to move mursor to newer entry in jump list.

CTRL-]          Jump to the definition of the keyword under the
            cursor.  Same as ":tag {ident}", where {ident} is the
            keyword under or after cursor.
            When there are several matching tags for {ident}, jump
            to the [count] one.  When no [count] is given the
            first one is jumped to. See |tag-matchlist| for
            jumping to other matching tags.
