The problem seems to be that the "nosep" option for the enumeration is 
in the wrong place. It might be getting crosswise with the language 
changes. I got it to compile as follows.

 1. I removed the magyar option from the line in the preamble that loads
    babel. This may not be necessary for you, but on my system "magyar"
    is not recognized by babel as a language name.
 2. I deleted the "enumerate options" inset.
 3. I put the cursor at the start of item 1 and hit enter, temporarily
    changing the text to item 2.
 4. In the new (empty) item 1 (which has reverted to English), I used
    Insert > Enumerate Options to add back the "nosep" option, then put
    the cursor after the inset and hit delete to bring the original text
    back to item 1.

HTH,

Paul
