I do not think that :vimdiff is a command. Did you start a new
instance of vim from the shell with
$ vimdiff
or did you use some other command within vim? I tried
:tab sp foo.txt
:set fdm=marker
:diffsplit bar.txt
" do some editing ending in bar.txt
:wq
:diffoff
:set fdm?
foldmethod=manual
This is the expected behavior.
