When new buffer opens from tree file list, it creates half-split ignoring width setting

[flppv]

Description

When on the screen there is only a file tree, upon opening the file it opens a tab on the right half of the window, and nvim-tree takes a left half, even with width setting being set. Toggling nvim-tree twice (close-open) shrinks it to a width-value width.

Neovim version

NVIM v0.7.2
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3

Operating system and version

macOS 12.4

nvim-tree version

08ab346

Minimal config

-

Steps to reproduce

1. Open any directory with nvim
2. Select a file within nvim-tree sidebar
3. Hit Enter

Expected behavior

Opened tab takes full-width - nvim-tree-width width, and nvim-tree takes nvim-tree-width width

Actual behavior

Opened tab takes 50% width, and nvim-tree 50% width

This sounds like a bug.

Please create a minimal config nvt-min.lua that we may use to replicate and (fix or provide a workaround for).

@alex-courtis it's a clean lunarvim config

Lunarvim is extremely far from a minimal config. Open the link Alex gave you.

I think I'm facing the same problem

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Open directory as the following:

nvim .

2. Then open any file (Enter or o).
3.

My neovim configuration

nvim-tree configuration

P.S. I tried neovim with a minimal configuration (only nvim-tree)

I found a workaround to use <C-o> to open the first file. But it would be great if o didn't push sidebar to the right.

#1594 fixed my problem :)

[alex-courtis]

Thanks @pleshevskiy , merged.

@flppv please update nvim-tree.lua and see if it resolves the issue.

@alex-courtis unfortunately I got rid from LunarVim where this bug occured for me, and started using my own clean config, I hadn't issue with width there, but I had with tree changing side to right, which is resolved with new update. I assume I can close this issue

[alex-courtis]

started using my own clean config

Fantastic! LunarVim does do a lot...
