Whenever I open a .md in emacs, it immediately thinks it's been edited, why?

EDIT: I solved this by deleting the markdown folder in elpa, and reinstalling it. But I'm still not sure why this happened...

If I open and immediately close any .md or .markdown files, emacs immediately thinks they've been edited, so if I were to immediately close out, I get the "do you want to save it?" prompt.

This also happens on non-.md type files when I M-x markdown-mode.

I solved this, but thought I'd post an answer in case it helps anyone else.

Finally, I decided to re-install the package, and that fixed the bug, although I'm still not sure why it was happening.

So, in my ~/.emacs.d/elpa I found markdown-mode..., deleted it by hand, went back to emacs's M-x list-packages, found markdown-mode, reinstalled it (type i when the cursor is on it), then type x to install all marked packages.

This fixed it.
