Text cut after tilde ~ is inserted (Yosemite)

After upgrading to Yosemite, when I try to use tilde ~ for subscript large portions of text disappear, either before or after the tilde (sometimes all the text after the tilde, tilde included). The problem does not arise if I type the tilde in isolation from other characters.
EG:

t~1 text disappears
t ~ 1 text does not disappear (but, obviously, I do not get the subscript)

There is no problem with superscript

   Luca,

   Thanks for writing in. Another user reported a similar problem that I
   thought was subscript related, but then he told me it wasn't.

   I'll look further into this. In the meantime, there are a few temporary
   options:

   1) Use Markdown instead of MultiMarkdown mode for syntax highlighting
   (easy, but you lose other features and have to switch for printing, etc.)

   2) Modify your theme by deleting the subscript definition (a bit more
   complex, but retains all other features):

   subscript = {
   superscript = -1;
   };

   Thanks for pointing this out.

   Thanks. It is not a big deal now and I can live with it for now.
   I tried to reproduce the problem. It turns out that even within the same file, sometimes the tilde works sometimes it doesn’t (although in different lines)

   I am attaching a file where the problem arises. You can see whether you can reproduce it.

   This is a problem with subscript/superscript in Yosemite. It has been fixed for the next release (2.7).
