jistr/vim-nerdtree-tabs — Issue #7: Files appearing empty
Author: KitB
Created: 2011-11-26 20:40:10+00:00
State: open

When opening files with 't' or 'T' from NERDTree, a new tab is opened with a file purporting to be the selected file but completely empty, typing ':e' in this window gives:
"filename" [New DIRECTORY]

This is with gvim on Arch Linux, vim :version as follows
