[Bug-AUCTeX] 11.85; misplaced previews

[tyler]

Hi,

I'm having some problems with misplaced previews. I read the manual
section about this, but, as much as I understand it, I don't think it
applies here. I could be wrong, I don't really understand the manual
on this point.

I've pasted a short example below. When I C-c C-p C-p on the
\section*{Introduction}, it places the preview within the abstract
environment. In my actual document, I have formulas and figures
showing up at incorrect locations throughout the text, making it
unreadable.

Cheers,

Tyler
