beamer warsawtheme: header navigation is off by 1

[Sivaram Neelakantan]

I have been using the same beamer tex file for some time and I just
noticed the top navigation sections with the round dots are off by a
section.

The slides looks like this, with 3 sections with 2, 3, 2 slides in each
section

Intro Compute Data
00 000 00

After pdf generation, the sections light up correctly as I navigate
each slide but the dots below light up in the previous section. Like,
if I'm in compute section (which is lighted up), slide 1, the dot below
intro lights up. Which is incorrect, the one below Compute should
light up.

I deleted the *.aux files and tried both within Auctex and commandline
'pdflatex file' but there's no change. I usually run pdflatex twice
at least when I add some text.

Also I use \include immediately under \section to keep the main file
tidy.


Where should I start looking?

Try \input. I'm surprised \include works here at all.

Thank you! It got fixed. I've been using \include via auctex as it
seems to give the right prompts to include other tex files. A quick
check on google shows this

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/246/when-should-i-use-input-vs-include

which doesn't seem to show anything that would cause this issue. What
was going on then?

it does work (but is imho seldom useful in a presentation). But as
with other documents you have to take care to put everything that
writes to the aux e.g. an \addcontentsline *inside* the include.

So the \section shouldn't be before the \include.

I remember something about it being only to be used for chapters. I'm
not quite sure why that was, one thing is the \cleardoublepage issued.
If that's the only thing, it would probably do no harm in a
presentation.

Thanks, that helped.

A minor update to using \input in Emacs + auctex + reftex is that, the
scanning to build the TOC within Emacs takes a visible few seconds
compared to \include. It's not annoying but definitely noticable.
