Do you have some kind of live-preview configuration? It's been a while since I did LaTeX, but I remember latex-mode had some configuration that allows to to continuously run (pdf)latex and keep a previewer running. I think the latexmk command does something similar. See if you have an instance of that running in the background somewhere. Try with an empty ~/.emacs.d (or start emacs with -Q) and see if the behaviour persists. That will eliminate latex-mode configuration as a potential culprit. -- regards, kushal
