Howdy ..

I have a major OS/2 Mp4 'normal' complex system which suddenly is refusing
to open each now non-regular desktop object in the 'normal' standard
position that is in a 'standard' position on the desktop. The normal
standard size window for multiple programs one may open. Now, yes, if you
right click the top left hand spot on the blue bar there is a 'scroll'
option which I have never used.  However is this crazy error, each object
you open even such as a blank DOS or OS/2 window desired, flips down and to
the right in the sort of scroll format instead of over-laying over the
'top' item at the same point on the desktop total screen!  Something went
nuts on this system that started this error.  From decades ago I sort of
recall seeing a discussion of this issue but now at my current intense mind
fill for a lot of other things besides OS/2, I can't recall how to trace
and fix this!  This issue popped up when the box strangely locked up and I
was wondering if I was going to have to force re-boot it.  There were
multiple objects on top of each other as normal.  But the keyboared
wouldn't respond and the clock top activity was jammed as well too.  I
moved the mouse up to see if the mouse worked.  It was as normal at that
time actually touching inside the 'top' window and then when I touched the
left key on the mouse the whole system suddenly was working again!  But
this time with the strange auto scroll effect for opening multiple windows
size objects in the little top left down and to the right for each new
opject selected.  In this case also the entire desktop is normal for each
formal desktop item selected and where it has been originally set to be
when I click on it.

Thoughts?
