gEDA-user: Getting a grip on designators in PCB?

[Bob Paddock <bpaddock@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From time to time I end up with PCB elements that are impossible to get a grip
on the element designators.  Below is a simple test case of two resistors.

On my system I can get a hold of the R2 designator and move it, do what ever I 
want, but the R1designator is impossible to get a hold of to move it.  You 
can move R1 as a whole, but not the R1 designator, you just can't get a hold 
of it to move it.

The PCB file was created with this sequence:
Draw Schematic in gEDA, from January CVS.
Use gattrib from 20050315 to add footprints.
Use gsch2pcb 20050315 to create pcb.
Test with pcb 20050315.

Can you move the R1 designator on your system?

What is going on to prevent R1 designator from being moved?
