Hello!

I have been using Lyx 2.0.3 (on Mac OSX) on my current project for several 
months now and learned to deal with most errors occurring. However, now Lyx 
doesn't any longer guide me directly to the point in my document that caused 
the problem but only tells me that there is a problem as soon as I try to 
generate the PDF-preview. I think it stopped doing so a couple of days ago but 
I can't remember why and if I involuntarily changed any settings. Now recently 
I have reworked my document and made changes all over the place (and forgot to 
generate the preview every couple of minutes). So it is impossible for me 
simply to 'guess' which recent change may have caused the errors Lyx is 
"talking" about. Especially as it's so general problems like "LaTeX Error: 
Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item." or "Missing } inserted." which 
seems to be cover terms for all kinds errors. Usually I can figure out what the 
problem is if I just know where to look for it.

I have also tried to solve the problems by looking at the source code but I 
couldn't figure out anything. As long as I can't solve the existing problems I 
won't be able to generate the preview in order to check if I don't produce any 
new errors as I proceed writing and the list of 'mysterious errors' is getting 
longer and longer.

So please help me!!! How can I make Lyx guide me to the problem in the document 
and show me at least the paragraph containing the errors again? 

Thank you very much!
Julia Schäfer
