Thanks - that was the problem. I ran scriptnames as Bram suggested and
it showed _vimrc followed by vimrc_example.vim and then defaults.vim.

I moved from Vim 7.4 to Vim 8.0 and then soon to the 80-069 version. I
see now from documentation that defaults.vim was introduced in Vim
8.0, which explains why I didn't face this problem earlier.

Just to clarify, most of the defaults work fine for me, except the
value of scrolloff. I have reverted it back to zero in my vimrc now.
