There are too many things I'm not yet familiar with, and I couldn't
fully understand the procedures you suggested, that is I'm lost in the
editing part. Anyway, having focused my attention on the marker, I
re-read the startup guide in the part where how to create an element is
explained, and I figured out I omitted left-clicking on a proper point
in the drawing after issuing "cut selection to buffer", perhaps I
clicked without minding where I was clicking: that's why in a couple of
footprints I designed I had obtained that "square" completely apart from
the footprint itself! Now I've created the two footprints from scratch
and I've fixed the problem.

Many thanks!
