Buffers do not get restored when nerd tree is open when saving the session, and the current working directory is `~` #38

I don't have time to create a minimal vimrc file at the moment, I will try to get around to that sometime in the future (no guarantees when). But these are the replication steps:

  1. Open Vim in your home directory
  2. Open two files (i.e. buffers)
  3. Open nerd tree
  4. Save the session with vim-session
  5. Close Vim
  6. Reopen Vim. Only one of the two files is restored

I can repro, will try to fix. No need for minimal vimrc.

This looks like a special interaction between vim-session and Nerdtree. During the session load of Nerdtree, vim-session does some extra steps to restore Nerdtree, which in turn destroys the wintabs session. This wouldn't happen if you use :mksession and :so. So I'm afraid I can't fix this issue completely.

One way to mitigate the issue is that: when this happens, call :WintabsAllBuffers. This should be able to restore your buffers from last session.

I'm closing this since it cannot be fixed. vim-session does a lot of extra stuff with nerdtree and disrupts normal wintabs buffer restore.
