  **Describe the bug**
  Using rnvimr to edit a folder, e.g. with `:e .` causes existing window splits to close. It is unclear to me if the splits close or the buffers themselves are closed, but I'm currently leaning towards the last alternative, since I've found this same bug to close open tabs when there is only one buffer displayed in the window.

To Reproduce using nvim -u mini.vim

Example: cat mini.vim

call plug#begin('~/.config/nvim/plugged')
Plug 'kevinhwang91/rnvimr'
call plug#end()

let g:rnvimr_enable_ex = 1

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. In neovim, open any file (e.g. :e test.json)
2. Split screen (split or vsplit) and open another file (e.g. :e test.html). Stay on this second split.
3. Now use rnvimr has a netrw replacement to edit the current folder: :e . and press enter.
4. Watch has the new split closes as soon as ranger appears.

Expected behavior Ranger window appears and nothing happens to the splits or buffers that were previously open until a new file is selected within ranger. Opening the file in ranger should replace the buffer in the newly open split. No splits should be closed when ranger appears.

Thanks in advance. Love this plugin!

Found a similar, possibly related issue:

1. Edit a file
2. open a new empty tab :tabnew
3. Edit the current folder :e .
4. The current (empty) tab is closed as soon as ranger pops up.
