I rewrote the first spot where there was an error, and now everything is
fine! Weird.

This could be e.g. a math-only character outside math (or vice versa) that
triggers a math-toggle ("inserted $") in TeX's error handling.
As "toggle" implies, after that math is seen as text and text as math which
leads to a mass of follow-up errors.

This was exactly the problem: a \propto symbol seen as text.


There are several such scenarios where a single "wrong" character can
disturb the TeX engine and lead to scores of errors. And this character might have been input unadvertedly (e.g. while thinking that the focus is in
another window).

Yes, it led to a bunch of follow up errors.


BTW: instead of cutting text in most cases it helps to just put
     it in a note (mark it and Insert>Note>Note).

Please explain?
