3. Run `SSave` to save current session
4. Exit Neovim (I used `:qa`)
5. Open Neovim
6. Open saved session
7. Startify's help page isn't displayed correctly

Note: this occurs regardless of what other buffers are open.
## Expected behavior
This only seems to happen with startify's help page specifcally.
Doing so with other help pages works fine, and startify's shouldn't be any different.
Ex:
Opening help page and then saving session:

Reopening session:

Research direction

Reproduce the problem in Neovim by opening `:h startify`, running `SSave`, exiting, and reopening the saved session. Compare the restored startify help page with another help page and verify that the startify page renders correctly after session loading.
