I am facing this peculiar problem, whenever I fit a drawing sheet, the entire sheet will not fit to the window, some extra margin is left out, and this behaviour is appearing only for few sheets, other sheets fit to the extents of window. I am unable to remove this bug/problem from the sheet.
I checked if there are any objects left out in the huge margin - there are no objects left out beyond the drawing sheet border.

Thanks Ferdo, but it didn't work for me.
 
are the drawing frames really big, extending to the screen edges?
 
No, the drawings look very small when I fit the drawings, leaving a large area outside the drawing frame.
 
Is the sheet size the same as the number of frames? Sounds like the sheet size is smaller.
 
I see that you checked for elements in the blank space, but did you search for 'un-pickable' items as well?

If geometry has been set to un-pickable, then you'd need to use the 'Advanced' tab in the 'Search' function. Either type 'Drafting.*.Pick=FALSE' into the 'Composed Query' window (see attachment for illustration) or pick a specific 'Type' of element and then, in the 'Attribute' window select 'Pick' and set to 'False'.
