Hi Oran,
Regarding your points,
1. I cannot get the Paragraph Formatting tool bar Tab icons to work. On earlier
versions I could drag them onto the ruler to add new tabs. While I can move
existing tabs on the ruler, I cannot seem to add new with the icons. The tab
icons seem inoperative, as I cannot make to do anything through dragging,
double-click, etc. I do see the "New Tab Stop" text in the paragraph designer
flicker when I click an icon, but nothing else happens .
<Megha> To add a tab stop, click a tab stop symbol from Paragraph Format
toolbar and click the desired position below the top ruler. Refer to FrameMaker
9 user guide , page 43.
2. If I use the "Screen Mode" icon to select? "Full Screen Mode" the menus
correctly disappear. So far the only way I have found to get back out of that
mode is to close and reopen the file using keyboard shortcuts. (Ctrl-W) I
cannot find a keyboard shortcut or key to get back out, and menu is gone of
course. What is interesting is that re-opening the file gives you the menus
back, but "Screen Mode" remains in "Full Screen Mode" (checkmark) even though
it is not.
<Megha> To change the screen mode :
-> Right click on the grey area outside document window, then choose Toggle
Screen Mode from the context menu.
->You can use the following keyboard shortcuts :
Esc S M s for standard screen mode.
Esc S M u for full screen with user interface.
Esc SM f for full screen.
Esc SM t to toggle screen mode.
Regards,
Megha

I am using TCS2 with Frame 9 with the patch on XP SP3.
For me the new user interface seems a little confusing and inconsistent in how
it works, but I am figuring out most of it by experimentation and trial &
error. The Help file is mostly worthless. Seems they forgot to update it for
the new interface and icons in many cases.
Two UI items however, escape me.

With respect to "Recent Items" on the splash screen and "File>History" I find
expected behavior both before and after installing the patch. Seems to work OK
for me.

Right-click, then choose Toggle Screen Mode from the context menu.
wincmds.cfg lists these shortcuts:
Esc S M s for standard screen mode.
Esc S M u for full screen with user interface.
Esc SM f for full screen.
Esc SM t to toggle screen mode.
However, none of these shortucts works for me-- only the right-click and
Toggle Screen Mode.

You may want to check out the video at this link:

interface.
