Getting "Press ENTER or type command to continue" when trying to exit nvim

[erodactyl]

When I add the option close_if_last_window = true in my config, and then try to exit nvim (using :q), I first get a message "Press ENTER or type command to continue", and only after I press a key nvim exits.

Can you please help me out avoid this strange behavior? Expected behavior: should just exit without having to press another button first.

Here is my minimal config with lazy vim as the package manager.

vim.g.mapleader = ' '
vim.g.maplocalleader = ' '

local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath 'data' .. '/lazy/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',
    '--branch=stable', -- latest stable release
    lazypath,
  }
end
vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)

require('lazy').setup({
  {
    "nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim",
    version = "*",
    dependencies = {
      "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
      "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons",
      "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
    },
    config = function ()
      require('neo-tree').setup {
        close_if_last_window = true
      }
    end,
  } 
})

I'm not sure if its a conflict, however I had a similar problem when passing a directory as argument to neovim. it seems to have been solved by disabling netrw by passing the following code before loading Neotree:

vim.g.loaded_netrw = 0 vim.g.loaded_netrwPlugin = 0

I also had the same issue. I found that I could prevent it by having neo-tree load on BufEnter so it was loaded in time to hijack netrw when starting neovim with a directory argument.
