Now, when you fold, it should catch the chain and keep it on the bike. You have front chainguards, right?
I do shift to the highest gear before folding. The chain catcher may be quite a bit more than 1 mm above the chain - that's another thing I'll have to check!

I do have front chain guards, yes.
