Hello, I have an issue with NERDTree <> Coc.nvim integration where on Vim's floating window showing NERDTree suddenly moves the directory/file under CursorLine to the top of the tree.

Here's a screenshot of what's happening:

After debugging to find which setting was responsible, I found that setting set updatetime=<value> would change how soon this would happen as it affects CursorHold but I could not figure how NERDTree uses this setting.

I also raised an issue with Coc.nvim's maintainer who advised that I should avoid jump to float window but unfortunately I couldn't get any pointers on how to do that.

Kindly help.
