Take any latex document with sufficiently many equations. After cloning an indirect buffer ("C-x 4 c") and killing that indirect buffer (e.g., "C-x 4 0"), many of the overlays in the original buffer become invisible. Indeed, one can check that the relevant subfolder of =_region_.prv= is rendered empty, so the overlays that remain visible are just those that have been cached.
This is undesirable: if one attempts to simultaneously use preview and indirect buffers, one eventually has to regenerate all previews after killing any indirect buffer. The issue is that killing the indirect buffer calls ~preview-kill-buffer-cleanup~, which in turn calls ~preview-clearout~. In my local version, I wrapped ~preview-kill-buffer-cleanup~ with ~(unless (buffer-base-buffer) ...)~, as follows, so that it doesn't clearout indirect buffers. This has resolved the issue for me, but I imagine it could be useful for others who use both AUCTeX and indirect buffers. #+begin_src elisp (defun preview-kill-buffer-cleanup (&optional buf) "This is a cleanup function just for use in hooks. Cleans BUF or current buffer. The difference to `preview-clearout-buffer' is that previews associated with the last buffer modification time are kept." (with-current-buffer (or buf (current-buffer)) (unless (buffer-base-buffer) ; do not clearout indirect buffers (save-restriction (widen) (preview-clearout (point-min) (point-max) (visited-file-modtime)))))) #+end_src Emacs : GNU Emacs 30.0.50 (build 2, x86_64-apple-darwin21.6.0, NS appkit-2113.60 Version 12.6 (Build 21G115)) of 2023-08-11 Package: 13.2 current state: ============== (setq AUCTeX-date "2023-08-18" window-system 'ns LaTeX-version "2e" TeX-style-path '("/usr/local/var/auctex" "/Users/paulnelson/.emacs.d/elpaca/builds/auctex/auctex/style" "/Users/paulnelson/.emacs.d/auctex/auto" "/Users/paulnelson/.emacs.d/auctex/style" "auto" "style") TeX-auto-save t TeX-parse-self t TeX-master "~/doit/preview-master.tex" TeX-command-list '(("TeX" "%(PDF)%(tex) %(file-line-error) %`%(extraopts) %S%(PDFout)%(mode)%' %(output-dir) %t" TeX-run-TeX nil (plain-tex-mode ams-tex-mode texinfo-mode) :help "Run plain TeX") ("LaTeX" "%`%l%(mode)%' %T" TeX-run-TeX nil (latex-mode doctex-mode) :help "Run LaTeX") ("Makeinfo" "makeinfo %(extraopts) %(o-dir) %t" TeX-run-compile nil (texinfo-mode) :help "Run Makeinfo with Info output") ("Makeinfo HTML" "makeinfo %(extraopts) %(o-dir) --html %t" TeX-run-compile nil (texinfo-mode) :help "Run Makeinfo with HTML output") ("AmSTeX" "amstex %(PDFout) %`%(extraopts) %S%(mode)%' %(output-dir) %t" TeX-run-TeX nil (ams-tex-mode) :help "Run AMSTeX") ("ConTeXt" "%(cntxcom) --once --texutil %(extraopts) %(execopts)%t" TeX-run-TeX nil (context-mode) :help "Run ConTeXt once") ("ConTeXt Full" "%(cntxcom) %(extraopts) %(execopts)%t" TeX-run-TeX nil (context-mode) :help "Run ConTeXt until completion") ("BibTeX" "bibtex %(O?aux)" TeX-run-BibTeX nil (plain-tex-mode latex-mode doctex-mode ams-tex-mode texinfo-mode context-mode) :help "Run BibTeX") ("Biber" "biber %(output-dir) %s" TeX-run-Biber nil (plain-tex-mode latex-mode doctex-mode ams-tex-mode texinfo-mode) :help "Run Biber") ("Texindex" "texindex %s.??"
