Vifm.vim remains opened in a hidden buffer after running `vim <DIR>` and picking a file #95

Description

There seems to be a usability issue with vifm.vim w/embedding + netrw replacement.

When vim is started as vim <DIR> directly into a vifm.vim buffer, after picking a file vifm.vim does not terminate and remains in a hidden buffer. Thus, when I edit the file and attempt to exit Vim via :q, I get an error:

E947: Job still running in buffer "vifm: edit"

If I then pick another file, the embedded instance does terminate. ISTM that it should do so in the beginning as well.

Thanks for the report. There is clearly an issue. Vifm does terminate after picking a file, otherwise nothing would get opened in Vim, but Vifm is started again in a new buffer right after that.

Ah, right. I described the user-visible effects :-)
