I always anchor my frames to a line, so I didn't clue in on the fact
that you can't simply add a paragraph after a frame.

Yes, I was able to get FrameMaker to put the characters right under
the frame with no leading. It looks bad if you use a border or fill.
Since the manual says that Frame will adjust this if you tell it to
space with leading + largest font size, that's what you would normally
do. But I tried that, and Frame didn't change anything.

That's what it looks like. Another thing I always do is create a frame
with no border and no fill. I then create a rectangle inside with the
border, leaving some space around it. I have always done this without
any particular reason, but it sounds like a work-around you might try.
