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.
