I made a mistake in adding an entry into the Table Of Contents.
Instead of writing
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{Institutional repositories}
I wrote
\addcontentsline{toc}{Institutional repositories}

The {subsection} was missing, so it was my error and the software got 
understandably confused!


But here is the problem --

When the error message came, it started to point to all different 
sections of the text. Not the relevant one.


Why was this happening? Can this be sharpened, pls? FN


This is a LaTeX issue, I would suppose. LaTeX often gives very confusing 
messages. In this case, it would have tried to treat Institutional 
repositories as the name of section-type.

I think Frederick's point was that LyX's error dialog does not select the
ERT where this error is being made, but some other parts of the document.

However, I cannot reproduce this. I made a small test file, and the ERT was
precisely selected. So we'd need an example document that shows the problem.
