Re: Bug: no math-mode detection for align-environment [9.3.7 (9.3.7-13-ge62ca4-elpaplus @ /home/stefi/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20200713/)]

Hi,

AUCTeX has taken back this change, realizing that texmathp.el is also used in contexts where the mechanisms of AUCTeX to find out about LaTeX packages being used does not work.  I do think this is already fixed in the latest AUCTeX version.  At least it is fixed in their git.

Yes, that results in expansion on my end as well.

It looks like this issue was introduced with AUCTeX's 91701704 (Delete
overhead in extending font lock range of math _expression_, 2020-06-11).
If you're getting AUCTeX from ELPA, the regression is included the
current version there (12.2.4, 2020-06-29).

At the start of this month, it was fixed in f04a508f (Restore all math
environments in texmathp.el, 2020-08-01), so the issue should go away
with the next update that lands on ELPA.
