I use vscode + sumatrapdf.

It seems to be a problem with vscode. Both, forward and backward search work with your example inside TeXworks.

Yes, I tried TeXworks but I'm still not sure. There are indeed user who think it's SyncTeX related, such as this issue. I originally thought it was related to my reader, but I'm now leaning more towards it being related to SyncTeX, (this issue).

I once tried to modify the synctex_parser_utils.c file in my reader. (this commit). However, the author recently replaced it with a new version of SyncTeX (this commit).

Can you include in your main.zip both the main.pdf and main.synctex.gz

[changlichun]

Here it is. main.zip
