Can't resize neotree window through mouse drag
weavejester opened this issue · 5 comments
When I try to resize the neotree window by dragging the edge with my cursor, it often tries to resize back to the default width, as if it's intercepting a resize event and overriding. Sometimes this behavior goes away at random.
I assume this is a bug, but I haven't been able to track it down, or figure out a workaround. I'm using Emacs 26.3 on MacOS (the latest railwaycat "emacs-mac" build, if that matters).
Interestingly once the resizing behavior stops, it doesn't come back until Emacs is restarted, and it also fixes an issue where neotree interferes with the modeline of other windows.
When I try to resize it with my mouse, I just see the message "No resizable window on the left of this one." But I just use A in the active neotree sidebar when I see to see more.
If you set (setq neo-window-fixed-size nil), then the no resizeable window message disappears. However, for some reason it still tries to enforce a fixed size. Using A has the same effect for me: it resizes for a split second, then immediately flicks back to the default width (at least I assume it's the default width).
Every so often I'll try to track down this bug, or work out what causes it, but still I haven't been able to figure out the particular combination of actions that fixes Neotree's sizing bug. Presumably it's somehow interacting with either my build of Emacs or some extension in a weird way, but attempts to narrow down the cause have proven fruitless thus far.

Are you still running into this issue? Also, are you able to recreate the issue with emacs -q -l path/to/neotree.el ?
Since raising the issue I've switched from MacOS to Linux, and under Linux I haven't seen the issue occur from Emacs 28 onward.
