In fact, probably both New Window and New Page (both options are in the
File menu). And about the 'Page size' concept, the titleblocks in the
component list are called A0, A1 etc. I meant selecting one of them.

I didn't mean _not_ locking the block. I meant make it indicate it _can_
be selected, but not acted upon.

Anyway, if I can disable the block alltogether, I'd be ok with that. I
use to draw circuits, and if they're ready, find a block that fits.
Just to be clear, I can live with the way it is, I'm not such a
frequent user either...
