Unable to rescue symbols from older design
Description
Opening the design from a github repo (https://github.com/foostan/crkbd/tree/main/corne-classic/pcb) results in invalid symbols. Doing a Tools->Rescue Symbols reports "Nothing to rescue"

Steps to reproduce
- Clone the design from here: https://github.com/foostan/crkbd/tree/main/corne-classic/pcb (attached here for convenience: corne-classic.zip )
- Open the schematic
- Tools->Rescue Symbols...
