I think it's because the :tabe command works like :edit, it reloads the file and loses its 'diff' settings. Try executing :diffthis in the original window and :diffoff in the new tab to get it sorted out. I think it will probably work. :help :diffthis :help :diffoff Alternatively, perhaps <C-W>s<C-W>T would be a way to get a file into a new tab without ':edit'ing it; that might not mess up the options in the first place. :help CTRL-W_s :help CTRL-W_T > How can I make it the way I would expect from a vimdiff? If you're expecting to have diff working between two tab pages, then you're out of luck; scrolling down a bit at :help diff you can find this comment: > Diffs are local to the current tab page |tab-page|.
