   Warp 4 Error

   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?
