Neovim Version (nvim -v)

NVIM v0.10.0-dev

Operating System / Version

MacOs 14.4.1 (23E224)

Describe the Bug

The following even handler provided in the documentation does not work when opening a file in a new tab.

        event_handlers = {
            -- Close neo-tree when opening a file.
            {
                event = 'file_opened',
                handler = function()
                    require('neo-tree').close_all()
                end,
            },
        },

The neo-tree window remains open in the previous tab the file was opened from. Should this be expected to close the neo-tree window even though it's in the previous tab? Is there a way to accomplish this functionality currently?

Screenshots, Traceback

No response

Steps to Reproduce

open Neovim
Open neo-tree
open file in current tab
open another file in neo-tree but in a new tab.
go back to the previous tab. neo-tree is still open.

Expected Behavior

It should close the neo-tree window even when opening a file in a new tab.

Your Configuration

-- DO NOT change the paths and don't remove the colorscheme
local root = vim.fn.fnamemodify("./.repro", ":p")

-- set stdpaths to use .repro
for _, name in ipairs({ "config", "data", "state", "cache" }) do
  vim.env[("XDG_%s_HOME"):format(name:upper())] = root .. "/" .. name
end

-- bootstrap lazy
local lazypath = root .. "/plugins/lazy.nvim"
if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
  vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git", lazypath, })
end
vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(lazypath)

-- install plugins
local plugins = {

  },
  opts = {

    -- ...
  },
}

table.insert(plugins, neotree_config)
require("lazy").setup(plugins, {
