Hi to all,
I have already signaled, some time ago I think, that this behaviour is
somewhat cumbersome, and that the students (doctoral and post-doctoral
students) to whom I was teaching LyX as a general front end to
everything (R, PDF, etc.) were somewhat baffled by the operations
necessary to create a simple frame. Since I was already adapted to the
process (and automated many steps using Keyboard maestro macro player
:-) ), I was a bit surprised by their strong reaction. So, I think that
we should take into account these reactions.
If we can get back the switch to Standard function of the double
returns, that would be an amelioration I think.
We had in the recent past some abusive criticisms in the list, but that
should not make us immediately adopt a defensive discourse when a new
criticism appears, especially if it is constructive and detailed as here.
Best regards,
Murat

Dear Jürgen, there is no need for irony on your comments. Everybody is
doing an honest effort to work with the "new" Beamer environment.
You have quoted the behavior of other environments as the reference
for the "Frame" environment. If I am in a, for example, "Problem"
environment and I want to get out of it into the standard environment,
all I have to do is issue a couple of returns. This behavior is
nowhere to be found in the "Frame" environment, as I can issue as many
returns as I wish and the UI will accept them. This is, at least IMHO,
a first in Lyx.
As for the behavior after getting out of the frame title, what Neal
was explaining is related to the previous paragraph. After issuing
return outside of the frame title, another return should get you to
the standard environment. Then issuing a tab would indent this
standard environment into the "Frame" environment and you can keep
working. This is the behavior I was expecting from my experience with
Lyx and all sorts of environments. In this moment, you can issue as
many returns as you wish and Lyx would keep adding empty white lines
of a "Frame" environment. This behavior is not only annoying and
useless, to say the least, but also is nowhere to be found in other
environments.
I hope that you understand our concerns.
Regards.

Which brings up another question. Alt-A return? How could I have
discovered this?
Reading the beamer manual perhaps? Also, the shortcut is displayed in
the respective menu (Edit). And it is also documented generally in the
LyX manuals.

blind?)
I wish lyx had a way to discover things like emacs does.

After arrow right, return.
I can type some text. Looks nice. Oh, it's not nested in the frame.
Hit tab.
Now you have Frame inside Frame.

OK, I'm confused here. Let's consider workflow to make a bullet
chart.
I was talking about the Standard paragraph, not Itemize.
Insert sep. Hit return.
Select Frame
Fill in Title
oops - return in title does nothing, navigate past title (right
arrow), hit
return
Easier:
Alt-A Return
Fill in title
Arrow right
Return
Now I'm in Frame. Certainly not what I want - I don't even know
what this frame
in a frame would do.
I do not understand what you mean by "Frame in a frame". You are still
in the same frame. Would you also say "Quotation in a quotation" if
the style still is called "quotation" after hitting return? Or
"Itemize in an itemize"? Or "Theorem in a Theorem"? Or, for that
matter, "Standard in Standard"?
Switch to itemize
Use mouse to hit -> icon to nest itemize within frame.
Yes. The same as you need to do when using itemize in an Example box,
or Quotation, or Theorem, or ...
