Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

When an info node has multiple references, e.g.,

    *Note sssttt: (sss)Top.

    *Note sss: (sss)Top.

an I use either the 'f' keyboard command or mouse to following the
second one,  I end up in the first node.

Following patch seems to fix the problem where I added ":" after the
reference name.
