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 report will be posted for the auctex package at the GNU bug
tracker. Visit http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=auctex
to browse existing AUCTeX bugs.

In my emacs setup, if I have smartparens-mode enabled with
smartparens-latex and I open a latex document, type some text then
select it and type any latex special command (such as $, ", \{, etc...)
the text gets surrounded by these symbols as expected.
However, if I have delete-selection-mode enabled, then the text is
deleted instead. Other symbols like {, (, [ still work as expected even
when delete-selection-mode is enabled.
The weird thing is that this used to work flawlessly before a recent
update that I cannot quite track. In fact a question was posted here
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/21315/delete-selection-mode-and
in 2016 and an update to AUCTeX was supposed to fix this issue.
Below is the minimum init.el code that produces this problem
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t)
(defun require-package (package)
"Install PACKAGE unless already installed."
(unless (package-installed-p package)
(package-install package))
)
(package-initialize)
(package-refresh-contents)
(require-package 'auctex)
(require-package 'smartparens)
(require 'smartparens)
(require 'smartparens-latex)
(delete-selection-mode t)
(defun latex-mode-defaults ()
(smartparens-mode)
)
