Hello,
Sometimes (rarely), reftex-toc cannot place some sections at their
correct level.
The following document is more or less minimal:
"""
\documentclass{report}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Chapter 1}
\subsection{Subsection 1}
\section*{Section}
\section{Section 2}
\end{document}
%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% End:
"""
The table of contents presented by reftex-toc is the following:
"""
1 Chapter 1
1.0.1 Subsection 1
* Section
1.1 Section 2
"""
Notice how the unnumbered section is ranked deeper than the subsection.
Removing the subsection, the chapter, or changing the unnumbered section for a numbered
one all make the abnormal behavior disappear.
Promoting and demoting works as expected, but anything down from chapter (so, anything but
part) is shifted a few indents to the right. A chapter* would be aligned with the
subsection, and subdivisions are indented further.
The bug also happens with `emacs -Q`.
