I strongly suspect that straight.el (or some other packages loaded via straight.el?) does something unreasonable for context-mode, which interferes badly with AUCTeX. (In the past, AUCTeX had something like (defalias 'ConTeXt-mode 'context-mode) , but now it turned the way the other way round, (defalias 'context-mode 'ConTeXt-mode) . Maybe straight.el (or some packages loaded by straight.el) assumes the old way?) > 3.

I rather suspect that some existing "post-build modifications" conducted by straight.el causes the problem. Without such unnecessary intervention, AUCTeX ConTeXt-mode would work without problems. So I recommend you to ask straight.el developers to look after this problem. Regards, Ikumi Keita #StandWithUkraine #StopWarInUkraine #Gaza #StopMassiveKilling #CeasefireNOW
