bug#65786: 13.2; Indentation problem when left brace is closed with null

[James Tappin]

Interesting. I can confirm that I do get correct indentation behaviour in that case.

I guess that means that there is something else in my .emacs that is not playing nicely with AUCTeX, my first guess would be some special handling of braces needed for some other mode, but there is no "{" or "}" in the file.

Are there any known other modes that can mess up AUCTeX?

No, you're still up-to-date.  When you do 'emacs -Q', you have to eval
something like this in scratch in order to activate AUCTeX:

 (load "/path/to/the/location/of/auctex.el" nil t t)

IIRC you don't need to set any other variables in order to get it
runnig.  Can you give a it roll and open your .tex file again?

Best, Arash
