As POV-Ray always writes the whole image, whatever you are seeing is correct
and your expectation is incorrect.  I don't really get what you expect
versus what you see, but POV-Ray will render the selected area and leave the
whole image empty around it.  Thus, this sounds a lot like you are making an
incorrect selection for the area you are up to.
