The last part is suboptimal. It would be more desirable if after moving outside the inset, the inset would stay 'Opened' (un-collapsed). A 'Closed true/false' layout parameter would allow to avoid the inset auto-collapsing when the cursor is placed outside it. >> - In the case of 'mandatory' arguments, wouldn't it be better UI to >> have these arguments inserted automatically when the parent inset is >> being inserted?

(But I do agree that automatically inserting the argument inset is up for debate.) Liviu
