Hello!

I'm  afraid that I'm not seeing this behavior.  For one thing:

gvim .
:let g:netrw_browse_split= 4
click on a file with leftmouse button

yields a window with the file contents atop the directory window, not
side by side as you've suggested above.  Perhaps you have more options
set?  I did this with the following "simple.vimrc":

set nocp
filetype plugin indent on
let g:netrw_browse_split = 4
let g:netrw_liststyle    = 3

and using   gvim -u simple.vimrc  .  Anyway, clicking on the directory
window just made it the active one; it didn't select&open a file for
editing.  I'm using netrw v136k .  What version of netrw are you
using?  If its not v136k, may I suggest that you try it out.
