first case :
select an identifier right click and from menu select refactoring/
rename identifier
now click cancel the caret moved up to find the identifier declaration
place !!!
second case
select an identifier right click and from menu select refactoring/
rename identifier
 click rename identifier after the job done the caret is again at 
identifier's declaration place !!!

IMHO it should remember the original place and reposition itself there

If you can improve the IDE, it would be better to submit a patch on
the bugtracker rather than to air it here which may get some niggle
off your chest, but has little or no positive effect on Lazarus
development.

IMHO nothing wrong with voicing an idea. Many ideas that were posted
here have picked up in the past. True, many more did not....

But still.

I don't know if the current behaviour had any reasons. But some may
find it useful.

However, did you notice, that "Rename I." does add a paint in the jump
history? So you can just jump back to where you came from. (ctrl-h, or
any key you assign, 4th mouse button, if you have)
