Also, the "room" assigned to a sheet can be much larger than desired. I usually delete the damn rooms, I really don't believe that feature is of much value to me. It is also possible for some attribute of a component that may be on a non-displayed layer to be WAY away from the rest of the part. Fixing parts that have an attribute laying in the minus territory can be a problem. Select all may not actually select it if it is in that region. One quick fix may be to select all and move it to +10000,+10000 so that everything is within range. Often when you select an individual component, the non-displayed attributes will show up, too. That may allow you to determine the part that is fouled up.
