Re: gEDA-user: Why are visible attributes in a .sym not visible in my .sch?

Yes, absolutely sure.  This happens on 1.4.1.20080929 on WinXP, as
well as 1.4.0.20080127 on Ubuntu 8.10.

Sorry for not including an example earlier.  I tried to make a small
example to demonstrate the problem.  3 files are attached:
gafrc: needed at a minimum to have (component-library "."), so the .sym is found
IL717-3E.sym: A pared down symbol to demonstrate the problem
test.sch: a schematic that has two IL717-3E symbols in it.  One was
inserted with attribute promotion on, and the
"manufacturer_part_number" attribute was copied to the schematic file
(bad, because I don't want duplication of information).  The other was
inserted with attribute promotion off, and it has no attributes in the
.sch (not even an empty {} section).  When I open it in gschem, I do
not see the text "IL717-3E", but I would like to see that text.

Thanks very much,
Miles
