Hi Arash,

Thanks for your reply. You are right, I just figured out this is not a bug
of auctex, but a bug of polymode instead. L224 in `polymode-compat.el'
messes up with font lock, and causes this problem in LaTeX mode.

Although this is not quite relevant to auctex, a temporary workaround would
be:
(with-eval-after-load "polymode-compat"
  (advice-remove 'font-lock-extend-region-multiline
'pm-check-for-real-change-in-extend-multiline))

Best,
Ruiyang
