Comment:

 It's called the Home view.

 After looking in the HIG, I can't tell whether it's intentional that the
 Frame is stuck when in Home. When the bug occurs (as I'll describe later),
 not even the Frame Toggle key can get rid of the Frame, which seems odd.
 But either way, there's a bug somewhere. If the Frames aren't supposed to
 be stuck, then there's a way to get them stuck. And if the Frames are
 supposed to be stuck, there's a way to get them unstuck.

 There is a problem toggling frames when the F3 (Home view) button is
 pressed, but the conditions are a bit more specific than you think.
 Basically, there are three possibilities:

 A)
 1. Go to a non-Home area (like Neighborhood, Groups, Activity, etc.)
 2. Open Frames by mousing to a corner.
 3. With your cursor in the frame area, press the Home button (F3).
 4.The frames will stay, but disappear once you mouse of them. The Frame
 Toggle key will work normally.

 B)
 1. Go to a non-Home area (like Neighborhood, Groups, Activity, etc.)
 2. Don't open Frames. Keep your mouse in the center.
 3. Press the Home button (F3).
 4. The frames will appear, locked, and the Frame Toggle key does not work.

 C)
 1. Go to a non-Home area (like Neighborhood, Groups, Activity, etc.)
 2. Open Frames by using the Frame Toggle key. It doesn't matter where your
 cursor is.
 3. Press the Home button (F3).
 4. The frames will appear, locked, but the Frame Toggle key can toggle
 them.

 My intuition is that two of these three scenarios are bugged, and the
 third one is the correct one. Whatever the intended feature is, though,
 SOMETHING is buggy.
