The Beamer manual encourages us to use itemize "a lot-- REALLY use it". But
what I observe is that it spreads the items on the slide so as to occupy the
entire height of the slide, even if there are only two items in the itemized
list, so there is a huge, ugly space between them. If that is the default,
it is faulty. However, I suspect that I am doing something wrong, since it
is hard to imagine that this is what the Beamer creators had in mind.
I'm not sure if this is what you're talking about, but try this: at the
beginning of the first item, start an ERT and put the following in it:
\setlength\itemsep{\fill}

Thanks Scott, but that did not work. However, by exporting the Lyx file
to Latex, I discovered that the problem was that the \end{frame}
appeared right after the frame title, leaving the itemized text outside
the frame. Once I corrected that (in the Latex file) everything was
fine. I hate to have to export to Latex, fix things, and then import
back into Lyx...
There does not seem to be an explicit way to tell Lyx to insert an
\end{frame} mark where I want it. BTW-- the manual recommends using
alt+P return to start a new frame, but it does not work in my Lyx 2.2
under Linux Mint. The edit/start new environment (frame) seems to be
available from time to time, but not always. I am sure there is a
logical explanation to all of this, but I don't know what it is.
