Question / Problem and steps to reproduce

1. Open Vim
2. Open minimap window (either with :Minimap command or with g:minimap_auto_start
3. Open a file in Vim (either with :e or with NERDTree)
4. Open the minimap help menu with :h minimap
5. Vim will now begin to give errors as you enter the help menu and/or move around within it.

Errors when you open help Errors as you move around help

Other things I have noticed:

• Minimap will occasionally stop updating as you move between files

• Will frequently throw one of the following errors:

Error detected while processing BufEnter Autocommands for "*"..function <SNR>80_handle_autocmd[23]..<SNR>80_buffer_enter_handler[4]..<SNR>80_source_buffer_enter_handler[2]..<SNR>80_refresh_min
imap[15]..<SNR>80_generate_minimap:

E716: Key not present in Dictionary: "working_width"
E116: Invalid arguments for function string(2.0 * g:minimap_width / s:win_info['working_width'])```

E788: Not allowed to edit another buffer now
E434: Can't find tag pattern

Error detected while processing CursorMoved Autocommands for "*"..function <SNR>80_handle_autocmd[29]..<SNR>80_source_win_scroll[14]..<SNR>80_render_highlight_table:
line    1:
E735: Can only compare Dictionary with Dictionary

Since it throws a number of different errors every time I run the same set of commands:

vim <file>
:Minimap
:h minimap

I couldn't copy-paste a single thing that would be representative of my error.

• If I open a help file for a plugin, after it throws its errors, if I try and open the regular help file (:h), it will give the same errors upon opening.

Minimap is also janky when I open help pages(more visual glitches rather than Vim spitting out errors). @wfxr would I be able to block it from opening on help pages using g:minimap_block_filetypes if so, how? Perhaps have it block help files by default?
