I want to disable cursorline when leaving the NERD tree window and enable it when entering the window again.

The following setting works fine when using <C-w>w or similar, but not when <CR>. Hitting <CR> opens the file in other window, moves to it, and cursorline remains visible. How can I make it work?

augroup Cursorline
  au!
  au WinEnter * if exists('t:NERDTreeBufName') && bufname("%") == t:NERDTreeBufName | setlocal cursorline | endif
  au WinLeave * setlocal nocursorline
augroup END
