Thank you for, once again, bailing me out. I should have noticed the
"short description" and all works as you say. Hitting R makes it a lot
faster than trashing the .aux file.
What I do now is
hit R,
wait until it is typeset,
put in the missing $ or whatever
typeset.
I tried saving time by
put in the missing $ or whatever
hit R
typeset
It works too but I have a feeling that I have lost feedback on
whether or not I put the $ in the right place.
Still, the real issue is that there must be something wrong in
myfile.tex since it behaves differently than one would expect and the
way that newfile.tex (with the same preamble) does.
Other than adding little by little all the stuff in myfile.tex to
newfile.tex and running the "$\times" check each time, is there
something that the abnormal behavior might suggest?
Grateful regards
