uncommenting a commented region leaves it commented in latex (auctex)

uncommenting a commented region leaves it commented in latex (auctex)

[Micha Feigin]

When I try to uncomment a region in LaTex-mode (auctex) using
tex-un-comment-region when the region was previously commented with
tex-comment-region doesn't return to the previous state.
tex-comment-region adds %%
and tex-un-comment-region removes only one %.
uncomment-region seems to do the right job.
Where do I fix this? (its emacs-bidi with auctex from debian unstable).

Are you using the simple keybinding of M-;?  That uncomments and
comments regions fine for me in all modes.

M-; runs the command comment-dwim
   which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `newcomment'.
(comment-dwim ARG)

Thanks, that seems the easiest way.
I was using "C-c ;" to comment and later found that "C-u C-c ;"
uncomments properly. The uncomment command from the menu
Latex-miscellaneous-uncomment which is bound to "C-c :" only removes
the first %.
