What I mean by the 'working area' is the canvas area described in PCB as
the "Board size"  in the preferences, not by any outline drawn on the
screen. Goodness knows what the maximum 'canvas area' can be, and hence
the limits of where you _could_ theoretically /store/ components
"out-of-sight" but not removed completely ...

I'm sure one of the devs/coders will probably be able to answer this .. :=
