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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The effect is to generate the error message:
  Error running timer `font-latex-jit-lock-force-redisplay': (wrong-number-of-arguments (2 . 2) 3)
or drop into the debugger with debug-on-error set to t.

Contents of file foo.Rnw:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\begin{document}
\end{document}
%%% Local Variables:
%%% eval: (ess-noweb-mode t)
%%% End:

Actions:
Position the cursor anywhere in the file.
Run the command "LaTeX-section".
Type a level or no level at all, and press enter.
Type a title or no title at all, and press enter.

Note: The "Rnw" file type makes the major mode be LaTeX and adds the polymode for Rnw minor mode.  The motivation for turning on the ess-noweb-mode minor mode is to obtain the default bindings for knitr-ing and then pdflatex-ing the document.
