Check to see if attribute-promotion is enabled. It should be
in your system-gschemrc file ---

; attribute-promotion string
;
; This keyword controls if attribute promotion occurs when you instanciate a
; component.  Attribute promotion basically means that any floating attribute
; (unattached) which is inside a symbol gets "promoted" or attached to the
; newly inserted component.  This only occurs when the component is
; instanciated.

(attribute-promotion "enabled")
