This is a known AUCTeX issue.  You have to install the latest AUCTeX by
uninstalling the last installation first.  In short:

  • Uninstall AUCTeX 13.x and/or 14.x via package interface
  • Close Emacs and open a new session
  • Install AUCTeX 14.0.2 via package inferface

And you should be back in normal state.

Best, Arash
