It indeed does. Developers are aware of the issues and are working on it. 
Progress is painfully slow, though.

If you post the *.sym file, we may spot the cause more easily.
Attach it to the mail, or just copy-paste the contents of the file.

gschem started from scratch presents a frame that is is deliberately locked. 
That way, it does not get elected by accident. This is meant a convenience

dragging a over it and choose unlock from the edit menu.
