I think I'm experiencing a bug with the new patch.

If I enter a file directly with C-c C-a, instead of starting a new REPL
first with C-c C-z, it seems that no symbol can be found.

1. Find a file with `#lang racket/base' or `#lang racket'
2. Without any REPL running, enter it with C-c C-a, causing a new REPL
to be run
3. Try to find a symbol with C-c C-d C-i

Example of file:

#lang racket
