[AUCTeX-devel] glitch in displayed math formatting (\[ ... \])

[Artemio González López]

I am using auctex 11.89.5 with Emacs 25.1 rc2 and macOS Sierra (10.12) golden master. I’ve noticed the following annoying glitch in formatting displayed math in LaTeX. To enter displayed math (with Emacs 22 and auctex 11.88), I used to type “\[“, newline, "\]”, and up-arrow, obtaining something like

\[

\]

(with the cursor positioned in between the opening and closing delimiters). On the other hand, now I get

\[

    \]

(i.e., with the closing delimiter indented), so that I have to hit the tab key every time to make the right delimiter flush with the left one. Is this some kind of bug, or am I missing something obvious (like a better way of entering displayed math, similar to C-c C-e for environments)?

Thanks a lot,

Artemio
