[Bug-AUCTeX] 11.82; TeX-master not used after TeX-next-error

[Gustaf Hendeby]

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.  If the bug (or problem) 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 bug report will be posted to the AUCTeX bug reporting list.

Recently I upgraded from AUCTeX 11.55 to 11.82, and since then I have
been experiencing the following strange behavior.  After using
TeX-next-error any compile command will not use the file name given as
TeX-master but instead what comes from parsing the name of the
*output* buffer and then adding .tex (it seems).  Normally this is not
a problem, but if a non-standard file extension is used this becomes a
problem.  

To see the effect create the file foo.ltx (note the extension) with
the following minimal content:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\end{document} 

Compiling this file (repeatedly) should be no problem! Now add an
error, and compile again.  Use TeX-next-error to view the problem, and
then try to compile the file again.  AUCTeX will now try to compile
foo.tex instead of foo.ltx, without success.  After "resetting the
document" with TeX-normal-mode compilation works once again until
TeX-next-error is used.

Best regards
