Ok something strange happens indeed..

On versionsym2.sch, in the box "newer library (embeded; ignored)", the
components don't select - which means their bounds weren't computed
properly - hence the problem. If I go "show/hide invisible text" - twice
(in theory getting back to the same point), it works.

Showing my ignorance here - what is different / special about those
other than them being embeded? (None of the components in embedded.sch
like being clicked either)

It is probably the case that the code-path loading the "complex" misses
the initial call to o_complex_recalc() for embeded components. I'll look
into it.
