You do. The cursor jumps to the first item of the list, and if you select another one the cursor will follow. > In my case the cursor isn't moved > to the location of the problem when I select a different error. For me it does, but maybe that was fixed after 1.4.1. > Ok. So the .layout contains transformation instructions for the paragraph > styles. I'm a bit sceptical to this approach for the general case though. > You would have to define a lot of transformations to cover all cases. Rather than considering all possible transformations I think you already gain much if every text class defines a mapping from each of its nonstandard styles to a standard one (inverse Obsoletedby), and a mapping from each standard style that it does not implement to a style that it does implement (Obsoletedby) Do all this with a reasonable definition of "standard style" (e.g. "all styles that appear in more than 3 layout files"), and you hve something pretty good.
