<chuckle> I find it funny that we all have the same "issue". Maybe a change to the UI is in order (ie an unlock tool) or some doc changes are in order.
I just edited my title block as follows: a) select the selection tool b) do a box select around the whole drawing. This will select the titleblock and all the elements(objects) in it. I can't help but wonder if the box select should select a locked element or if this is a bug... c) to unselect the included components (other than the titleblock) I hold down the control key and box select everything that I don't want selected, ie everything other than the titlebox. This should now leave only the titleblock selected, ready for further action.
