Goto Symbol is broken for Shell Script (bash) in Build 3103.
Is this a known issue that will be fixed? Is there any way to work around this?

Cannot reproduce? Also tried ctrl+r and ctrl+shift+r but both worked.
#!/bin/sh
# Define your function here
Hello () {
echo "Hello World"
}
# Invoke your function
Hello

Ok, the problem is that Sublime only recognizes functions that are defined using (empty) parentheses. Something like this:
#!/bin/bash
function Hello {
}
Hello
does not work, although it is perfectly valid syntax.

This is a known bug, reported here: https://github.com/SublimeTextIssues/DefaultPackages/issues/178 and here: https://github.com/SublimeTextIssues/DefaultPackages/issues/125
you may want to use this: https://packagecontrol.io/packages/ShellScriptImproved
but ideally the first-class-citizen default packages would be improved such that it wouldn’t be necessary to resort to third party packages for syntax highlighting

Ideally bug reports for default packages should be posted at https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages/issues. Providing an example of code in an issue with a description of the problem will allow us to improve the default packages.
That said, I’m not trying to dissuade users from using third-party package alternatives. There are a number of packages that need some heavy work, and we are slowly going through each to improve the accuracy and performance of each. Because of this, it will be a little while before we’ve gotten all of the major languages supported by default up to the latest standards.
However, if reports are never filed, then the default packages won’t improve!
