Hi all,
this bug should be fixed now.
Bye,

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.
Be sure to consult the FAQ section in the manual before submitting
a bug report. In addition check if the bug is reproducable with an
up-to-date version of AUCTeX. So please upgrade to the version
available from http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/ if your
installation is older than the one available from the web site.
If the bug is triggered by a specific (La)TeX file, you should try
to produce a minimal sample file showing the problem and include it
in your report.
Your bug report will be posted to the AUCTeX bug reporting list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I try to enter an siunitx \SI macro I get the unit without
backslash even if I enter it correctly with a backslash. For instance if
I do
C-c RET SI RET RET 5 RET RET \kHz RET
I get "\SI{5}{kHz}" but I expect "\SI{5}{\kHz}". This happens to every
valid unit macro. It is always the first backslash that gets lost.
Entering "\meter\per\second" results in "meter\per\second".

Uwe
