Unexpected behavior with neo-tree when deleting buffers.

[6H075T2]

How to avoid this? This happens with I open two buffers and delete the other one neo-tree stays but with empty buffer but if i toggle neo-tree it switches from the last buffer and neo-tree buffer it doesn't attach itself to the last buffer, and if I go the next buffer with :bnext command neo-tree goes to right.

This is a glitch of focus stealing prevention. You tried to open another buffer in neo-tree's window and it was moved into a new window and neo-tree was restored. For some reason, neo-tree opened the new window in the wrong location. This does not happen with my config so it is something unique to your configuration. If you wanted to troubleshoot this, we would need a complete bug report in an issue that includes a minimal config to recreate this.

I think the more important question is: why are you intentionally opening another buffer in neo-tree's window? Stop that! :bnext is not an appropriate action when you are on a window that is supposed to be a sidebar. Open a new window first.

can i see yours? maybe that well help me configuring mine.

It does only happen if I delete the current buffer so if I need to delete buffer1 I need to add buffer2 go there and enter command :bd 1 this method will avoid the problem.

but if theres only one buffer open and i enter :bd command it deletes the current buffer and replace it with empty buffer leaving neotree intact

I just want to delete current buffer then focus on the next buffer and leave neotree intact.

heres my config

@6H075T2 did you manage to solve it?
I just started assembling neovim conf, have not a lot of plugins and it's happening

[dennypenta]

I tried it with a single plugin on (neotree I mean).
for some reason a buffer deletion makes neotree close its window and take over the entire singe window.
I tried disabling everything I could and running just a naked neotree.
I have a minimal config to make it reproducable, it has only 3 files.
Even though the keys maps for the plugins are defined they are not used in this case, naked Neotree cmd was tested either.
