`LaTeX-flymake' actually follows closely what ``tex-chktex' does.  I'm
not sure if I understand the above correctly, but this is what I see
with "emacs -Q" and built-in LaTeX mode:

[flymake-wo-narrow.png (image/png, inline)]

[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

This is what I get with narrowing, but without the comment lines:

[flymake-w-narrow2.png (image/png, inline)]

[Message part 5 (text/plain, inline)]

And finally with narrowing and the commented lines:

[flymake-w-narrow1.png (image/png, inline)]

[Message part 7 (text/plain, inline)]

IIUC, the third version shows the wrong line number 4, right?

Best, Arash
