Hello,

Unfortunately, by the time I noticed the bug, I have already had multiple updates so 
I am not sure which version was working.
However, I am pretty sure I am using AUCTeX 12.1.0 right now. I am probably using TeXLive 2014 though.

When I use `M-x package-list-packages`
I have this line:
  auctex             12.1.0        installed             Integrated environment for *TeX*

Regards,
Abdul

           ^^^^^^^^^^

Hi,

can you tell the version of your AUCTeX before your recent update?
Currently, you are using an AUCTeX from 2014.

Maybe you can update AUCTeX manually from ELPA with `M-x list-packages
RET U x' to version 12.1.0 and try it again.

Best, Arash
