I don't think that you're supposed to diff files this way, but I could
be wrong. If I have a buffer that I want to diff with another, I
usually do the following:
1. "Un-split" all of your windows, leaving only one, and then load file
#1 in that window.
2. Type the following command:
* :vert diffsplit path_to_file2
This should give you the results that you want.
HTH!
