But in some tricky cases (like this one) the error may hard to find. Indeed I have already spent four hour bisecting my document and I haven't pinned it down yet. As I keep looking, my only choice to keep working on the content is to export to latex and compile from command line or form mile. Wouldn't it be better to emulate the latter behavior in LyX? Unless I'm wrong about the technical constraints, of course.
