Esc m p for anchored frames?

[Daniel Emory]

If you initially set the anchored frame postion to be
Below Current Line, using ESC mp to shrink the size of
the anchored frame to the size of the contained
graphic object changes the anchored frame position to
"At Insertion Point". To restore the original position
after shrinking it, you must click on the anchored
frame, open the Anchored Frame dialog, and and
re-select "Below Current Line", and perhaps also
restore the original "Alignment" position.

Don't ask me why the ESC mp action forces these
arbitrary changes in position and alignment. That's
just the way it is. I suspect that this shortcut was
added at the request of one of the large license
holders, who explicitly asked for this behavior, and
Frame Technology complied with the request.
