Public bug reported: Binary package hint: auctex
If I run emacs -q and load the following file, ~/test.tex: \documentclass{beamer} \begin{document} \begin{frame} $a_{b$ \end{frame} \end{document} and hit C-c C-c LaTeX RET, emacs says "LaTeX errors in `*~/test output'. Use C-c ` to display." Then I hit C-c ` and I expect one buffer called *TeX Help* to be created containing the "Missing } inserted" error, alongside the original test.tex buffer. But this doesn't happen: instead, two buffers are created: one called *TeX Help*, and a read-only buffer called Debian. Both are empty, and the minibuffer says: Search failed: "^l\\." These two buffers replace the test.tex buffer. Incidentally, if I go to the new Debian buffer and hit C-x C-w, the minibuffer says "Write file: ~/TeX Live 2009/", which I find rather curious. If I comment out the \begin{frame} and \end{frame} lines in test.tex, then I do get the expected behaviour.
