Windows 10 or 11?
None of the OpenSCAD controls yield those problems for me, on Windows
11. (The menu/key/mouse controls do make the line numbers fall off the
left edge.)
You might take a look at Windows Settings / Display / Custom scaling and
Accessibility / Text size. Those are the system-wide settings that are
known to interact badly with OpenSCAD. Normal is 100% scaling and the
slider all the way to the left in accessibility.
Windows 11
But why would OpenSCAD SUDDENLY just lose it?
Never mind. I re-started OpenSCAD and everything is fine. As it has
been for 9 months.

turning it off and on again fixes most things.🙂

Thank you. Both the Editor and Preferences show reasonable font sizes
(8 and 12) but the program remains useless. A re-start fixed things,
but this probably needs to be a bug.

There's only a couple of configurable font items, and I think they
are all in Preferences.
You don't say what system you're on. On Windows the preferences are
in the Registry, in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\OpenSCAD. I don't
know about other platforms.
Overlapping like that means that something didn't properly handle the
font metrics. It's unquestionably a bug. (Whether it's a bug in
OpenSCAD or elsewhere, don't know.)
And no, pretty much there should not be any limits on font size, and
especially not this small. Vision-impaired people need fonts that
are by normal-vision standards huge. (Some years back when my wife
was having eye problems, she was getting about one sentence per page
on her Kindle.) At 72 point - about ¾" capitals - I get about 60
characters across and 17 lines tall, which seems usable. (That's on
a 43" 4K TV used as a monitor, ~$200 from Costco.)
There are two font-size controls - the one in the preferences, and
the increase/decrease with the menu and Ctrl-plus and Ctrl-minus.
The preferences one persists across application restert; the
menu/Ctrl one does not.
You might also look at system-wide font-size settings. OpenSCAD is
known to interact poorly with those.

fwiw, many years ago, I had a Heathkit Zenith Z-200, it had two
processors, and a few k of ram mapped to the green mono video display. I
was sat in front of it one evening, when I saw a few bits on the display
gradually glow brighter, then fade away. Nothing to do with me, or the
computer., just a few bits of memory being triggered to change. But, it
is more likely, in your case, that some badly written c++ is doing
things in areas that it shouldn't, or you've got some flaky memory. I
wouldn't bother, unless it happens again within the next few days.

I must have hit some keys accidentally, and now my OpenSCAD looks like this:
It is basically useless. Where is the font size hidden, please?
Exploring is very difficult at the moment.
Would it make sense to not allow font sizes over some limit?

Check & see if "ctl+shift + numpad -" will shrink it back. In my xfce4
its perfectly controllable. numpad + will expand it too.
