Anyone have a look at this? It's been a while since I have actively done Literate Programming with LyX and I have need of this functionality again.
What happened with the error boxes?
I think that they died and were replaced by Alfredo's ErrorList. See src/frontends/controllers/ErrorList.C and ControlErrorList::goTo. In other words, you have a single dialog to help you navigate rather than a multitude of "error insets".
Angus, do you know (or know who might know)?
Why blame me? :)
There seems to be lots of stuff that invokes showErrorList (grep showErrorList src/*.C) where showErrorList actually lauches the dialog:
void BufferView::showErrorList(string const & action) const { if (getErrorList().size()) { string const title = bformat(_("LyX: %1$s errors (%2$s)"), action, buffer()->fileName()); owner()->getDialogs().show("errorlist", title); pimpl_->errorlist_.clear(); } }
Does this help you track things down?
