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)
  )

(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'latex-mode-defaults)

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

It looks good.  What is the situation reg. the bug?  Do you still face
the problem or can I close this report?

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

Sorry. I realize I wasn't clear in my last email. My original bug report was using the latest version of auctex (12.1.0). 
Hence, the bug seems to be in the latest version (as of this writing).

Best,
Abdul

Subject: conflicts with smartparens
Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 10:29:57 -0600

There are two smartparens bugs that may be related to this.

https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens/issues/827

TLDR; enable delete-selection-mode *before* enabling smartparens

and also

https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens/issues/834

And the workaround here is to rely on smartparens rather than auctex's implementation of $:

(define-key TeX-mode-map (kbd "$") #'self-insert-command)

Hope that helps,
Alex

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

No further comments, therefore I'm closing this report.
