OK here is another one. 

I create a text frame. 
I click on the frame.
I see a label called "Edit"
But if I click on this I don't get to edit the
text in the text frame. 
Instead I must click on a label that says
Content. Then I can click on Edit text. 

When I click on a text frame 90% of the time
I want to edit the text in that frame. So there
should be a choice for "Edit text" as the first
choice when I click on that frame.

Also when I am in the story editor there should
be a quick exit/return to the style editor. There
used to be that feature.

BTW I still don't have a way to make the
baselineskip automatic when I am editing a
paragraph file in the style editor. 

That was my original question. Any suggestions?
