Fix error on returning to deleted file

[rbong]

When returning to a deleted file, an error briefly flashes on the screen and a new file cannot be opened.

Are you sure that new file can't be opened? I tried in Vim and neovim, they print an error, but then open the file (in neovim you need to press Enter to dismiss the message).

Yes, for me, the new file doesn't open and the window doesn't get cleaned up.

Minimal .vimrc:

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
    Plug 'vifm/vifm.vim'
    let g:vifm_embed_term = 1
    let g:vifm_embed_split = 1
    let g:vifm_embed_cwd = 1
    let g:vifm_replace_netrw = 1
    let g:loaded_netrwPlugin = 0
call plug#end()

Vim version: 8.2.3877

Updated my Vim to 8.2.4106, but it behaves like before. Here's how I'm testing it:

(bash) echo test > file
(bash) vim file
(vim) :Vifm
(vifm) :goto file
(vifm) :rename new-file
(vifm) Enter
(vim) Displays notification message which disappears in 1 or 2 seconds.
(vim) :file
(vim) Prints "new-file"

[rbong]

Displays notification message which disappears in 1 or 2 seconds.

If you press anything when the notification appears, that's when this behavior happens. I must have always pressed enter or escape or something to dismiss the message.

Let me know what you think the behavior should be, but for me it is an inconvenience.

I'm fine with the change, thanks. Just wanted to know why I couldn't reproduce the behaviour.
