[TxMt] LaTeX Bundle question

[Brad Miller]

It sounds to me like you must have TM_LATEX_MASTER set in  a project  
file or in .textmate_init in a project or something.
The latex bundle does not set TM_LATEX_MASTER, it only uses the  
variable if its set.  Are you sure it is always the previous master  
file?

Try typing this into a latex file and then pressing ctrl-r  This will  
tell you what the environment variable is set to without running any  
latex commands.  If it does not return a blank line then you need to  
hunt through your environment and see where it is set.

echo $TM_LATEX_MASTER
