nvim-tree.lua destroys split pattern, and now show the opened buffer

[CoinCheung]

Description

When I open nvim and split, and then toggle with current_window=true, and then open a new file from nvim-tree. The split pattern is destroyed, and the opened new file is not on the top.

This is my init.lua:

-- install lazy.vim if it does not exist
local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"
if not (vim.uv or vim.loop).fs_stat(lazypath) then
  vim.fn.system({
    "git",
    "clone",
    "--filter=blob:none",
    "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git",
    "--branch=stable", -- latest stable release
    lazypath,
  })
end
vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)

-- install plugins
require("lazy").setup({
    {
        "nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua",
        version = "*",
        lazy = false,
        dependencies = {
            "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons",
        },
    },
})

local nvim_tree_api = require("nvim-tree.api")
require('nvim-tree').setup({
    update_focused_file = {
        enable = true,
    },
    actions = {
        open_file = {
            quit_on_open = true,
            window_picker = {enable = false},
        }
    },
   git = {enable = false},
})

vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>n",
    function()
        nvim_tree_api.tree.toggle({
            path = "<args>", current_window = true,
            focus = true, find_file = false, update_root = false })
    end,
    { noremap = true })

Steps to reproduce

1. $ nvim -u init.lua a b
2. run :vs, here it should be like [a | b]
3. n
4. choose a file(such as a "c"), and press enter

Expected behavior

The split pattern should keep, and the new opened file should be in the split where nvim-tree is toggled. Here it is [c | b]

Actual behavior

The split pattern is gone, that is only a [a] is here. And the new opened file of "c" is not on top of the shown buffers.

Next time please follow the instructions when creating the replicator:

Minimal(!) configuration necessary to reproduce the issue. If not provided it is very unlikely that the nvim-tree team will be able to address your issue. See wiki: Clean Room Replication for instructions and paste the contents of your /tmp/nvt-min.lua here. Please do NOT post a configuration that uses other plugin managers such as lazy, see wiki: Lazy Loading

On simplifying the toggle I am able to reproduce via:

nvim -nu nvt-min.lua a b
:vs
:n
,n
select c
<only window with a is open>

vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>n",
  function()
    nvim_tree_api.tree.toggle(
      {
        current_window = true,
      }
    )
  end,
  { noremap = true }
)

Please note from #3080 that path = "<args>", is incorrect and may yield unexpected results.

[alex-courtis]

Minimal reproducer, both quit-on-open and window-picker-disabled are required. Update-focused-file irrelevant.

Any thoughts on this one @GCrispino ? We definitely tested the _no_window_picker APIs #3054

echo a > a
echo b > b
echo c > c
nvim -nu nvt-min.lua a b
:vs
:n
<space>a
<CR> on c
buffer a is shown, not c
