Yes. I suspect you have some graphical symbols (titleblock, busripper, …) that have somehow lost their graphical=1 attribute.

You can make a list of all symbols used by a design with something like:

awk '/^C /{print $7}' *.sch | sort | uniq

Look for symbols that don’t represent components and track those down. The rules are a bit arcane: power rail symbols like gnd-1.sym don’t need graphical=1.
