Thanks for the detail, indeed it was fixed in
https://packages.qa.debian.org/s/shared-mime-
info/news/20150919T193529Z.html
The new package has been synced to Ubuntu
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shared-mime-info/1.5-2
** Changed in: shared-mime-info (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Hi
The bug is now fixed in Debian upstream (revision 378, thanks to user "slomo"):
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-freedesktop/trunk/shared-mime-info/debian/patches/061_tex-matlab.patch?view=log
It is not (and probably never was) present in the Freedesktop sources:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xd
ideally that would be sent upstream to
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=shared-mime-info

Title:
Magic for text/x-tex broken
To manage notifications about this
** Description changed:
The magic for text/x-tex in Ubuntu 15.04 is broken as it assigns
text/x-tex to any text file which contains the word "section", "chapter"
or "documentclass" within the first 100 characters.
This behavior is fixed if one adds backslashes to the appropriate match
How are you reproducing this? How can I verify the fix?
It seems to me as nautilus recognizes a dummy file correctly as plain
text rather than TeX document; so does the file command.
