Vifm (vim file manager) breaks after hitting W (quickview)

Right after hitting "w" (quickview) i am getting an error msg "sh: file: not found" and the app screen rendering gets broken, making the app unusable.

Expected behavior is to toggle on and off the quick file view (preview of file's contents) Related command is vie(w)

Tested on Alpine Virtual x86_64. I am using vifm on many different linux distros, never seen this bug anywhere before.
