Altium won't let me move object to negative coordinates

Question

I have imported a BRD document from Orcad to Altium. The origin is on the top left of the board and I can't move things or draw traces below or to the left of the origin, that is, negative coordinate levels, Altium just locks the mouse pointer and it doesn't move.
Is this a configuration inside Altium or is it a bug?

There is a limit to how far you can go negative. Ctrl-A to select all and cut and paste in the positive quadrant, then move the origin to where you want it. Edit->Origin->Set
It also gets messy sometimes when parts end up way off the page.
