Hi Taedeus,

It would be great if you could make a minimal example and send it to the
list. For more information, see:
https://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample

It'll probably take you more time to make a good minimal example than it
would for you to just keep doing a second compile, BUT it could help us
fix a bug somewhere in LyX.

"Random" error message

2016-11-08 Thread Tadeus Ras
Hello fellow LyXonauts!


First of two questions occupying me since a while:
In at least one of the files input into my thesis — with an input math macro 
file at the beginning — I incosistently get the following error message:

! Text line contains an invalid character.
l.19 ^^@^^@
^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^...
A funny symbol that I can't read has just been input.
Continue, and I'll forget that it ever happened.

„inconsistently“ in the sense that a second compilation try often succeeds 
without any changes on the document. This document also takes much longer for 
its 20 pages to compile than others of the same size. Might this be related? 
And if not: Is there any way (besides „commenting out“) to figure out what 
takes up all the time in that compilation process?


Thanks…
