Suddenly when I try to do a Ken Burns there's only a right-to-left (or opposite) choice. Worse, a selected photo or video may appear halfway up the frame. There's little button I never saw before on the right of the viewing screen that toggle the selection vertically and seems to affect previously set clips. I must have changed something somewhere but don't know what it was.

OK, this is a narration project where I start with one image, then lay the narration, then add images or video to match it. So I unthinkingly dropped in a vertical oriented image, did the narration, then when I moved on the the video components, it was all weird. In settings (when I tried to render) I saw it had automatically set to that one image, so that must be it. Even when I threw it all away (saving the audio) and started a new project, the same thing happens. How do I get back to the default (I already did the option/control startup.)? Here's what the settings look like.
Wait. I thought events are in projects, not projects in events......Hmmmm
Your project was created in a vertical aspect ratio, because of that first image.
Press Command-J to open the Project Inspector.
Click the Modify button and change the project to a horizontal orientation.
Well, it was selected already, but perhaps due to some special Sequeira magic, the Ken Burns function is normal again. Titles are also normal (they were all zoomed in and blown up for some reason. Thanks, Luis. I think I'm good to go.
Select 1080p
Here's what I see after the preference reset. The original image is a photo like this:
Can you post a screen shot please?
Try resetting the FCP X Preferences,
Hold Option-Command as you launch FCP X.
Re-open a Library after the reset.

Thanks - let me try that.....
The screen shot looks like the photo is placed into a Vertical Video Project.

What is the button you’re referring to? Where exactly? It looks like you’ve created a vertical project like 1080x1920. Is that what you meant to do?
Thank you. Where is "horizontal?" I see "square." Should I select that?
Square looks wrong.
My Crop function is weird
