So I'm using beamer and I have a long proof that won't fit on the page. It seems allowframebreaks with \break or \framebreak doesn't work. Anyone have an idea how to break a frame with proof environment or theorem environment (the latter for curiosity)?

 @David Speyer is a wise man, listen to him. Voting to close in the meantime. – Igor Rivin Oct 2 2011 at 20:03

 I think this is beamer's way of telling you to avoid long proofs in this context. – Chris Godsil Oct 2 2011 at 20:12

 You should meditate Chris Godsil's suggestion, but in the meantime, ask yourself also whether using a proof environment is at all useful in beamer. Beamer is not the same as writing a paper. Without the environment, breaking the proof across slides should not be a problem. – Thierry Zell Oct 2 2011 at 20:22

 In my experience, one can get away with proofs in a chalkboard talk, but with slides/projector people stop paying attention when you try to give a proof. Just the idea should be enough, and that should always fit on one slide. – Spiro Karigiannis Oct 2 2011 at 20:35
