Inverse search no longer working after one of several Neovim instances is closed

[dlejay]

Setup

On macOS, Skim is configured with nvim --headless -c "VimtexInverseSearch %l '%f'" as recommended.

In Space foo, I have a Ghostty window running Neovim on the file foo.tex and a Skim window showing me the resulting pdf.

Inverse search works great ✓

In Space bar, I have a duplicated setup but on a different file bar.tex.

Inverse search works great too ✓

Incident

Quit Neovim foo → Inverse search stops working for bar ✗

Reopen nvim foo.tex → Inverse search starts working again for bar  ‽

That's strange. And I'm sorry to say I have no idea how to debug this. I don't use MacOS and won't be able to reproduce it.

Do you see the same behaviour if you have foo and bar open and working, but then close bar instead?

[dlejay]

Yes the issue is symmetric.

Could sickcodes/Docker-OSX help to replicate issues on macOS ?

Perhaps, but these things are new to me. If you made a simple, step-by-step instruction, I might consider to try.
