          I assume that you are using AUCTeX. According to the documentation of TeX-insert-dollar among other things the following happens if you input the closing $ sign:




          Show matching dollar sign if this dollar sign ends
          the TeX math mode and ‘blink-matching-paren’ is non-nil.




          What you can do is to set blink-matching-paren to nil.



          EDIT: This will also affect the behaviour of emacs when you input a closing parenthesis etc., but you can use other modes e.g. show-paren-mode to still highlight the opening parenthesis.

          • Yes, I'm using AUCTeX. What is supposed to happen for closing parenthesis? I don't think I see anything happen.

            For parentesis I see the same behaviour that you describe for $, i.e. from ) the cursor jumps to ( if blink-matching-paren is set to t. But if you don't like this behaviour anyway then this should be fine.

            You are right! There is no jumping of the cursor but only highlighting. Maybe you have (as do I) the show-paren-mode activated. Without that and blink-matching-paren set to nil there is no highlighting on my system.
