Describe the bug

When running Lazy after using nvim --remote-ui to attach to a headless nvim instance, Lazy commands do not pop up a UI in a floating window.

Steps To Reproduce

Works

nvim -u repro.lua

q
:Lazy

Lazy's floating window appears as expected (both from first-time initialization, and from :Lazy.

Doesn't Work

Run in background:

nvim --headless --listen ./nvim-socket -u repro.lua

Run in foreground:

nvim --server ./nvim-socket --remote-ui

:Lazy

No floating window appears.

Expected Behavior

Floating UI should appear.

Repro

-- DO NOT change the paths and don't remove the colorscheme
local root = vim.fn.fnamemodify("./.repro", ":p")

-- set stdpaths to use .repro
for _, name in ipairs({ "config", "data", "state", "cache" }) do
  vim.env[("XDG_%s_HOME"):format(name:upper())] = root .. "/" .. name
end

-- bootstrap lazy
local lazypath = root .. "/plugins/lazy.nvim"
if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
  vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git", lazypath, })
end
vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(lazypath)

-- install plugins
local plugins = {
  "folke/tokyonight.nvim",
  -- add any other plugins here
}
require("lazy").setup(plugins, {
  root = root .. "/plugins",
})

vim.cmd.colorscheme("tokyonight")
-- add anything else here
