Description
When I have the plugin enabled, I get the following error:
>Error detected while processing function startify#open_buffers[6]..130_open_buffer[12]..BufWinLeave Autocommands for "":
E495: No autocommand file name to substitute for ""
NVim version: 0.10.3
Whilst this doesn't block me using my editor, it's showing the error every time I open a file from the start screen.
