I updated nerdtree and devicons and since then im having the same issue.

[myname9]

@dborinsk i download vim8.1 , absolute this issue, i think the issue is relation to vim8.0

[chaneyzorn]

I have the same with nvim 0.4.0

[myname9]

@dborinsk @Campanula
let g:webdevicons_conceal_nerdtree_brackets = 1 complete

[chaneyzorn]

@myname9 Thank you, but it doesn't work for mine. I find a strange place:

the dir type goes wrong while the regular type is good.

[dborinsk]

@myname9 Not working for me as well NVIM v0.3.1

[seemethere]

Most likely has something to do with https://github.com/ryanoasis/vim-devicons/pull/255,

cc @ryanoasis

edit: can confirm, rolling back to 793fda6 resolves the issue

[ryanoasis]

@dborinsk @Campanula let g:webdevicons_conceal_nerdtree_brackets = 1 complete

@myname9 did you mean that let g:webdevicons_conceal_nerdtree_brackets = 1 solved the issue for you?

---

@dborinsk, @seemethere I was unable to replicate the issue on gvim or vim. I cleared my vimrc settings. Can you post your vimdevicon vimrc settings?

particularly check:

:set conceallevel?
:echo g:webdevicons_conceal_nerdtree_brackets

[myname9]

@ryanoasis it did not solved the issue, but it can control the '[ ]' in a new vim. i installed vim8.1 and set let g:webdevicons_conceal_nerdtree_brackets = 1 solved the issue. however , my mac default vim8.0 have the issue now.

[ryanoasis]

I am only able able to test vim8.0

These worked for me:

:set conceallevel=2
let g:WebDevIconsUnicodeDecorateFolderNodes = 1

g:WebDevIconsUnicodeDecorateFolderNodes should be on by default but current isn't: https://github.com/ryanoasis/vim-devicons/blob/4ba84019a5d4c10e01eff62089c7385a39af3be5/plugin/webdevicons.vim#L65

[chaneyzorn]

@ryanoasis my nvim 0.4.0 （vim 8.1 occurs the same issue） :

:set conceallevel?  ==> conceallevel=3
:echo g:webdevicons_conceal_nerdtree_brackets ==> 1
:echo g:WebDevIconsUnicodeDecorateFolderNodes ==> 0

then , I set:

set conceallevel=2
let g:WebDevIconsUnicodeDecorateFolderNodes = 1

It goes to:

the first dir still .
