   Running "GNU Emacs 18.55.7".  Often, after having typed in a TeX
   buffer for a while:  If I type a tilde, "~", between two adjacent
   letters, the "~" does not visually appear in the buffer until I have
   typed another command -even a ^G.  I note this happens especially when
   I have just deleted, ^D, a space between words and then type "~".
     Whatever causes this problem seems to affect all my buffers:  I've
   observed it in fundamental-mode, in *cmushell*, and in a TeX buffer
   with no auto-fill and with no abbrev-mode.
     I do not know how to cause this behaviour.

Are you perhaps connected to your machine via rlogin?  This behaviour
will happen in rlogin regardless of whether you're running emacs or not.
