Your selection rectangle contains several block references.

Some of these block references have block attributes attached to them. Block attributes (logically) belong to the block reference and are selected when the block reference is selected.

I think what likely happened here is that block attributes of a block reference were copied around to other locations. This is possible as block attributes have their own live, but this practice is certainly not recommended.
