RefTeX inserting citations in wrong place

RefTeX inserting citations in wrong place

[N. Raghavendra]

I am using the RefTeX package that comes with Emacs 24.0.50.1.  In a
LaTeX buffer if I do `C-c [' for inserting a citation it is placing the
citation in a wrong place.  For example, if I have the following text

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Foo bar

\begin{thebibliography}{0123}
\bibitem[BT1]{BT1} N.~Bourbaki, \emph{General topology.  Chapters
    1--4}, Springer Verlag, Berlin, 1989.
\end{thebibliography}
----------------------------------------------------------------------

in a buffer, and with point just after "bar", press `C-c [', the
citation is inserted at "\end{thebibliography}", like this:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
\cite{BT1}\end{thebibliography}
----------------------------------------------------------------------

and not next to "bar".  I would appreciate if someone can tell me a
solution to the problem.

Thanks and regards,
Raghavendra.

It's usually better to send such bug reports to the Emacs bug tracker
with `M-x report-emacs-bug <RET>'.

Anyway, about a year ago there was a mass change where a lot of
`set-buffer' calls where replaced with `with-current-buffer'.  When this
happened a `save-excursion' call in the function
`reftex-extract-bib-entries-from-thebibliography' was lost.  Adding it
again fixes the bug.

I haven't set up an local branch for committing yet, so I don't mind if
somebody beats me to checking in such a fix.

Many thanks for your reply.  Yes, but I wasn't sure whether this was a
bug or some mistake in the way I was using RefTeX.  I will report it
now.

I will try it.
