I would like to revert the minibuffer behavior of my 1.4.x LyX
installation to the behavior I had under 1.3.x. That is:
1. No minibuffer is shown as default
2. M-x opens the minibuffer for input (and gains focus too)
3. at the end of minibuffer editing, the minibuffer itself is closed.
I cannot replicate step 3: the mini-buffer, once opened remains
opened. Any suggestion?
Thanks,

I'd like to second this request. There should be a way to get rid of the
minibuffer after invoking it. I have the line
"minibuffer" "off,bottom"
in my user interface file "default.ui". When I invoke the command line
with the key for "command-execute", it appears at the bottom, but I
don't know a way to hide it again. It seems logical to me that if the
default is "off", then LyX should return to that state after executing a
command from the minibuffer.

You can get rid of the minibuffer by right clicking in an empty space on
the toolbar and unchecking it. That said, I'd like to see M-x toggle
the minibuffer (open it if closed, close it if open). Having to click
(twice) to get rid of it is a bit awkward, not to mention less than
widely publicized.
I'm not sure I second the notion of automatically closing the minibuffer
after each command; it's conceivable someone might want to type in a
sequence of commands (for instance, define several math macros in a
single orgy of typing).
