I've noticed that when I open a directory, ranger-override-dired-mode properly triggers deer. After I select a file from deer mode, I will often return to the deer buffer. However, whenever I return to the buffer, be it by using previous-buffer or view-buffer or buffer-menu, the buffer is always in a weird state where the major mode is ranger-mode and I get a preview window and the directory listing UI is dired's, not deer's (or ranger's). Doing most actions from this state, including changing directories, drops me into full-fledged ranger instead of deer.
My configuration:
