fine! Weird.
This could be e.g. a math-only character outside math (or vice
versa) that
triggers a math-toggle ("inserted $") in TeX's error handling.
As "toggle" implies, after that math is seen as text and text as
math which
leads to a mass of follow-up errors.
This was exactly the problem: a \propto symbol seen as text.
There are several such scenarios where a single "wrong" character can
disturb the TeX engine and lead to scores of errors. And this
character
might have been input unadvertedly (e.g. while thinking that the
focus is in
another window).
Yes, it led to a bunch of follow up errors.
BTW: instead of cutting text in most cases it helps to just put
it in a note (mark it and Insert>Note>Note).
Please explain?
