Hi Nick, Apologies on not responding sooner. I was preparing my slides for a presentation tomorrow.

I also forgot to mention I did not see the problem with a minimal setup. I got frustrated (I had to get the talk done), so I restarted Emacs and worked with LaTeX directly. Now in my new session I cannot replicate my issue. However it still breaks in a different way. Hitting C-c ' prompts me for a filename or a url. > For the OP (Suvayu): can you do C-h v org-edit-fixed-width-region-mode > RET and post the result?

I did a binary search through my setup and found the problem occurs when case-fold-search is set to nil. You can replicate this with the following contents in an org file and (setq case-fold-search nil). ----8<-------------------8<---- * Heading #+BEGIN_SRC latex %% this is a LaTeX comment #+END_SRC #+begin_src latex %% this is a LaTeX comment #+end_src ----8<-------------------8<---- C-c ' on the first block shold prompt you for a file or url and the second block should present a temporary buffer in latex mode. I have actually seen both these problem (the artist-mode and prompt for file or url) for quite a while from time to time. But I could never replicate them consistently. I guess today is my (somewhat) lucky day. :) > Nick > > Hope this helps paint a clearer picture. -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
