emacs M-e doesn't work properly in tex-mode

auctex, emacs, latex, nlp, punctuation

Solution

I noticed that the same happens in my Emacs. The problem is that the variable `sentence-end-double-space` is set to `t`. This means that Emacs expects a sentence to end with a double space. By setting to `nil` things work properly, i.e., Emacs recognizes a period followed by a single space as the end of sentences.

Problem

I'm using emacs and auctex to write LaTeX documents. For some reason, M-e doesn't move to the end of the sentence in tex-mode as it did when I went through the tutorial. It moves to the end of the paragraph. (That is, it moves to just before the next double line break) What is wrong? Do I need to turn on/off some mode to skip to the next full stop? How do I check which modes are active?
