      display = { non_interactive = true },
    },
  }
end
if vim.fn.isdirectory(install_path) == 0 then
  print "Installing nvim-tree and dependencies."
  vim.fn.system { "git", "clone", "--depth=1", "https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim", install_path }
end
load_plugins()
require("packer").sync()

_G.setup = function()
  require("nvim-tree").setup {}
end

Steps to reproduce

:NvimTreeOpen
E
:tabnew second
:lua require("nvim-tree").setup()

First tab is focused with the tree window open but collapsed.

:NvimTreeOpen
E
:tabnew second
:tabnext
:lua require("nvim-tree").setup()

Tree window not open.

Expected behavior

Tab should not be switched and tree open/closed state should be consistent.

Actual behavior

Tab switched with tree open.
