I find it strange that "--Separator--" appears inside the environment pulldown. Instead, I think of it as a character similar to a line break. I would expect to see it under Insert-Formatting-'Environment Break'.

Thanks for the explanation Günter, but I'm still confused. Do you mean Boxes=Insets? Is it similar to the "Increase depth" functionality (the right/left arrows in the "Extra" toolbar)? Since most normal environments don't appear in a box, I think it would be strange to box environments like Theorem/Proof. Günter> Insets are a clearly visible and established metaphor.

I was thinking of slides, but the nesting of slides makes no sense to me. Günter> The new feature would be helpful for the power user, but hidden to the Günter> uninitiated. I disagree. I've been using LyX for almost ten years, and somehow I never discovered the "--Separator--" environment. (Previously, my workaround was to increase the environment depth.) However, I definitely would have discovered if double-enter made a separate environment. -Ben
