Re: Cannot expand string in command on 13.0.3

[Tak Kunihiro]

Dear Ikumi,

I have to call (TeX-active-master-with-quotes nil t) in those
functions (sesame-TeX-jobiname) and (sesame-TeX-outdir) in
the real life.

I think that to call (TeX-active-master-with-quotes nil t) should not
change results and this does not happen on 12.3.1.

Do I miss something?

Tak
