Press :UndotreeShow<CR>

The undotree is empty!

the tree should show up once you move the focus to the right side

Thanks.

When I UndotreeShow firstly, the cursor is in the current buffer and the undotree display. However, when I UndotreeShow secondly, the cursor moves to the undotree buffer? This is why?

I'm not exactly sure, but I guess it might be related to how VIM handles the 'previous window'.

[Freed-Wu]

So it is a bug of (n)vim? 😄

Also, experiencing this bug.

Closing undotree window with q shows no bug. However closing undotree with :q or ZQ shows this behavior.

@Freed-Wu: I can replicate it in vim 8.1

@RayZ0rr: Good catch!

I made this hack in lua for neovim as a workaround:

local function enter_undotree()
    vim.api.nvim_command('UndotreeShow')

    local is_glitched = vim.fn.getreg('%') == 'undotree_2'

    if is_glitched then
        vim.api.nvim_command [[
            wincmd w
            wincmd w
            wincmd p
        ]]
    else
        vim.api.nvim_command('UndotreeFocus')
    end
end
