The following is a minimal example of LaTeX code that breaks the spell checker:
\caption{5\% \label{_fred}}
\autoref{alice} envolope
When I spell-check this it fails to notice that 'envolope' is
mis-spelled. If I remove the underscore from _fred or remove the \% then
the spell checker works fine.
Also, If I change the emacs default to use ispell instead of aspell
then it works fine. Running the file through aspell on the command line
also finds the spelling error.
I can only conclude that there's a bug in the bit of emacs that runs
LaTeX code through aspell.
Any ideas?
I'm using emacs version 24.4.1 and aspell version 3.1.20 (but really
0.60.7-20110707); The default packages are from the Debian Jessie repo.
P.S I know the LaTeX code isn't complete, but my original comipled just fine and aspell still wouldn't find the spelling error.
