@DoMiNeLa10 The workaround to this is (2a) in your emacs initialization, have neotree come after any find-file commands and (2b) simply be careful in your workflow to not open a file just after you neotree-toggled onto a frame without first mouse-clicking in the file, in the frame. Personally, I consider (2b) much ado about nothing. I mention it only to give you a technical understanding of the pop-to-buffer-same-window behavior.

@DoMiNeLa10 the interface is not letting me post an answer to my own question. The resolution was twofold: 1) if you are running emacs 26-1 and using neotree, upgrade your neotree to the latest version. 2) Realize that if when you invoke neotree, its window is dedicated. Apparently, when the pop-to-buffer-same-window function encounters a dedicated window, and tries to open a file on a frame, it will split the frame into windows.

| Nov 19, 2018 at 4:44 | comment | added | Drew | I don't have much to say about either, mainly because I don't build Emacs and I don't use it on GNU/Linux (unfortunately). I use it on MS Windows, given a Windows binary. I know very little about the questions raised on those pages. That said, in my ignorance about such things I'd think that questions about building, installing, upgrading, downgrading, etc. Emacs would be on topic here. (But I won't be contributing to them because of my unfamiliarity.) Off-topic would be questions that dig into the OS beyond such Emacsy questions. | |

| Nov 18, 2018 at 23:56 | comment | added | zugzwang | @Drew Interesting, thanks. I did file a bug report. | |

Yes, they are purging the Emacs sources of non-interactive uses of switch-to-buffer. It's possible that you have a case where the simple replacement of it by pop-to-buffer-same-window does not do the right thing - at least not what you expect/want. You might consider filing a bug report about this case: M-x report-emacs-bug.
