Missing bracket errors

[Maria Gouskova]

Hi LyX users,

This is a general question. For the past few years--can't be sure how long
it's been--I've been seeing an increasing number of "Missing } inserted"
errors crop up. Usually it will happen in a table of some complexity
(bibliography references inside a table, IPA fonts, merged rows/columns,
etc.), but not necessarily a table containing LaTeX code. It's frustrating
to encounter these, because I haven't inserted any { brackets, so there
shouldn't be any } ones, missing or otherwise.

I'm currently on Lyx 2.4.1, but it's been an issue for quite a few versions
running now.

My usual approach toward debugging these errors is to comment out the
offending portion of the text, usually a table, and to copy text into a new
table bit by bit. It's slow and annoying. I'd like to know where these
errors are coming from so I can hopefully avoid introducing them in the
first place.

Maria
