It’s several years since I wrote that macro, so I can’t specifically remember why \ignorespaces is there,
<div class="">but I suspect that it was because when I first started using that scheme, sometimes the spellchecker in the editor</div>
<div class="">would insert a space before or after the colon (remember, the scheme was: a label reads, say \label{sec:intro}</div>
<div class="">and the call to that is \refer{thm}{intro} so a space inserted when typing the label would render the reference unknown).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">In any case, (1) I had no trouble using this in many projects, some involving hyperref, including a couple of books</div>
<div class="">(2) I did discover recently that the same pdf works fine if I view it either in Adobe Acrobat or in Preview, so long as I am feeding</div>
<div class="">the pdf to those viewers from outside TeXShop; the problem seems to be solely when I have typeset the pdf in TeXShop and then</div>
<div class="">(still in TeXShop) go to the pdf and start to search.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Personally, having discovered (2) above, I regard this particular issue resolved (for me). </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">My more serious problems are with not being able to </div>
<div class="">typeset source code I used to be able to typeset before switching from TeXLive 2017 to MacTex 2020—first, the error messages that I get which</div>
<div class="">seem to occur (judging by the console) before the compiler even gets to my source code; they refer to lines in the pst files—and second, my subsequent</div>
<div class="">inability to re-compile the code even when I switch back to TeXLive 2017: now my pstricks code seems to cause problems which they didn’t before.</div>
<div class="">Granted, my extensive use of the pst-ode package is at the bottom of this particular problem, and I should find a different way of generating my </div>
<div class="">pictures (something which I may find the time to learn how to do once a COVID 19 vaccine is found and I am not scrambling to learn the technology for doing online teaching)—but to not even be able to go back to the old ways!!…ok, I’m showing my
age :-)</div>
<div class="">In any case, I have simply had to put that project on the back burner for now.<br class="">

Sigh... I thought it worked but it seems to sometimes work and sometimes not!<br class="">
<br class="">
I've had better luck if I comment out the \ignorespaces command in the definition of the \refer macro in refmacros.sty (why is it there?).<br class="">
