Reproduce the issue with the reported orgmode.setup configuration and Neovim v0.11.3, focusing on startup of the first org buffer and the later refresh or agenda buffer. Trace where org_highlight_latex_and_related is applied during initial buffer setup; done means LaTeX highlighting appears in the first opened org buffer without refreshing or opening another buffer.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I'm new to nvim and im using lazyvim. Can someone help me with this issue I get with getting latex highlighting to work.

Description

I have set org_highligh_latex_and_reelated = 'entities' in my config but everytime I open an org file the first buffer does not get the hhighlighting. Unless I "refresh" the buffer or opening a new buffer via agenda. Then tthe second buffer an onwards get the highhlighting.
