Mismatch of the `$` pair in LaTeX math mode

[taquangtrung]

Hi,

I have this simple LaTeX code and see that when putting the cursor at the last $ sign (of b), that $ is matched with the first $ (of a).

$a$ \texttt{$b$}

Hence when I do actions like sp-splice-sexp, smartparens removes the first and the last $ sign to obtain a$ \texttt{$b}, which is unexpected.

Could you advise how can I make it work properly in this case?

Expected behavior

The last two $ signs should be matched
