Version: 2.0.81 svn (using KDE 4.2.2) Compiler: gcc/g++ 4.3.2 OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled From Sources the error messages shown in the "log and messages" view are sometimes not very useful, due to bad output parsing. a minimal example is the following: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} \begin{align} \asdf \end{align} \end{document} when compiling this, latex outputs >! Undefined control sequence. ><argument> \asdf > >l.7 \end{align} the message view shows only >./file.tex:7:Undefined control sequence \end{align} which is misleading, because the `align' is defined, and the `\asdf' is the problem. When you change "align" for example to "equation", then it works. So the problem may be particular to environments of amsmath.
Not necessarily specific to amsmath environments. See http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/84983/unhelpful-misleading-errors-in-amsmath-environments for some more details. Another example of a similar problem is; "\newcommand{\foo}{\somethingundefined} This suffers a similar problem \foo" which will show that \foo is undefined. The line directly after the starting line (the line with "!") should be printed in the message window. This will sometimes coincide with the line number (equation), and sometimes not (align), so some adjustments are necessary in LatexOutputFilter::detectError For the line number, we're SOL due to bad design choices in TeX.
