How to open file in a vsplit when using current_window?

[enheit]

This is my current nvim-tree configuration

return {
  "nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua",
  version = "*",
  lazy = false,
  dependencies = {
    "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons",
  },
  config = function()
    local nvimTree = require("nvim-tree")
    local api = require("nvim-tree.api")

    nvimTree.setup({
      disable_netrw = true,
      actions = {
        open_file = {
          quit_on_open = true,
        }
      },
      renderer = {
        icons = {
          git_placement = "after",
          glyphs = {
            git = {
              staged = "S",
              unstaged = "M",
              untracked = "U",
              deleted = "D"
            },
            folder = {
              arrow_closed = "",
              arrow_open = ""
            }
          }
        }
      },
      filters = {
        dotfiles = true
      }
    })

    vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>e", function() api.tree.toggle({ current_window = true, find_file = true }) end,
      { noremap = true })
  end,
}

I open my nvim-tree in the current window

# cut
    vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>e", function() api.tree.toggle({ current_window = true, find_file = true }) end,
      { noremap = true })
# cut

Whenever I try to open a file in a vertical split (or horizontal) by pressing <C-x> or <C-v>, it just opens the file in a full-size window, not in a split.

I noticed that if I set quit_on_open to false, it opens the file in a vertical split, but it opens next to the file tree.

Desired behavior:

After selecting a file and pressing <C-x> or <C-v>, it should close the full-size tree and open the selected file in a vertical split next to the currently opened file.

Any ideas why it doesn't work?

I'm not able to replicate with quit_on_open true or false.

Please raise a bug report with your config and full reproduction steps.

One thing of note: the split will not occur when the file is already open in an existing window, it will just switch to that window.

Splits:

<c-x>

Doesn't split:

<c-x>
