I have updated Emacs, AUCTeX, microtype, pdftex; cleaned up my texmf-tree.
But still the same. The second preview is missing. Can someone
confirm this?

See output of preview-report-bug at the end of this mail for detailed
informations on used versions.


_region_.pdf holds 2 pages and preview.dsc (attached to this mail)
has descriptions for two pages. But there is just one png (pr1-1.png)
in _region_.prv/tmp17884rkg/. The second png is missing.

Now, if I call gs manually

   gs -dOutputFile\=\(_region_.prv/tmp17884rkg/pr1-\%d.png\) -q -dSAFER 
-dNOPAUSE -DNOPLATFONTS -dPrinted -dTextAlphaBits\=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits\=4 
-sDEVICE\=png16m -r86.1867x86.9857 _region_.prv/tmp17884rkg/preview.dsc

then actually /two/ pngs are created (pr1-1.png and pr1-2.png) with
the correct previews.

I am totally lost. I cannot imagine, why preview-latex doesn't create
the second png. Can someone help me to debug this?


Ciao

ps: I started emacs with
    emacs -Q -l auctex.el -l preview.el t1.tex
