issues moving components on schematics due to long, hidden attibutes

I am experiencing issues moving components on schematics due to long, hidden attibutes (namely PspiceTemplate). The only way to move a circuit or component with this issue is to make the page size bigger temporarily, move the components, then shrink the page size again. The attached picture shows why I can't move the half-bridge circuit further to the right (because of the gate resistor PspiceTemplate field) - anyone have any ideas on this? This is from SPB17.4-039. TIA! And further clarification - the text is made visible here for illustration purposes; it would normally be hidden. However, the behavior is unchanged whether the text is visible or not.

    Dpuble click on the template text and in the dialog box click hidden the ok to accept it the text disappears but is still attached to the component just double click on the component and you will see the template attached as a property

    Hope that helps

    Thanks for the idea but the issue isn't a function of whether the text is visible or not. in the example I made the template text visible so that it is obvious what is keeping the components from moving further to the right. Even if I hide the text, the components (in this case, resistor) cannot move further to the right because (presumably) the text would go off-page.

    You are right the text would go of page 

    However you can move the text to the left.

    and the behaviour is not the same with the text invisible you would be able to move the circuit to the right until the text at the bottom of the circuit hits the right.

    I believe that when you increase the size of the page move the circuit to the right and then shrink it again and some of the circuit goes outside the border this circuit that is outside the border will probably not get printed on paper.

    Yes, I could move the text to the left some and then re-hide the text (don't want to see this on my schematic), but I couldn't move the text far enough left to move the symbol to the right where I'd like to - not a practical work-around. Plus, if I wanted to move a chunk of circuitry I'd have to display-move-undisplay the offending text for each component. This is clearly a bug (IMO - can't imagine why this behavior would be intentional). You *can* make the sheet bigger, then move the components and then shrink the sheet again. The components stay in place until you try to move them, but then they 'snap' back onto the page in a way to keep all the attributes on-page, whether visible or not.

    Still hoping someone knows about this and can point out a fix or work-around.
