Description
I started to use Keyword Synonyms to allow steps to be found like 'Given|GIVEN|given' etc.
I used a custom keywords bundle (see attachments) which worked correctly and found my custom keywords as expected.
However I cannot now find steps annotated like this :
@Then("I navigate to admin page")
@Given("I am on the admin page and logged in")
public static void loggedIntoAdmin()
The JIRA text is :
Given a given customer is selected
And I am on the admin page and logged in
Note : The Given step and the And Step are in the same class.
This works fine if I do not use Synonyms on the Given step.

Thanks Mauro, That's what I was thinking. But if I don't use Synonyms, in the above situation jbehave will find @Given("I am on the admin page and logged in") as an @And step. It does not matter to it that the same method is annotated as @Then & @Given. Just an fyi.

It does not matter to it that the same method is annotated as @Then & @Given. Just an fyi. Actually, on more investigation it has nothing to do with the method annotated as a @Given and @Then.
If I take away the @When annotation on this method and leave just the @Given annotation and use Synonyms for Given (Given=Given|GIVEN|given), the @And step is still not found. If I don't use Synonyms for Given (Given=Given) then the method is found as an @And step.
// @Then annotation is removed
@Given("I am on the admin page and logged in")
public static void loggedIntoAdmin()

{ AdminPage.login(); } Could you please attach a simple project to reproduce this behaviour?

It's got nothing to do with synonyms. You're not finding the And step because you're annotating the same method both as @Then and a @When. It's finding it as a Then step and therefore not matching the And - which following Given is interpreted as another Given.
Methods are meant to be annotated only by one of @Given @When or @Then.
