Desktop Stacks setting suddenly changed, what caused that, Ventura 13.6 -macOS Ventura 13.6, Desktop; Safari 16.6 (18615.3.12.11.2) -My gmail-composition-window (webmail) turned black at top, which progressed downward till filled entire window, then most of my "Desktop Stack" folders suddenly reorganized at right of my Desktop: from "sort by Kind" to "sort by Date," creating new folders and titles. The black screen area showed short lines of blue, red and white, which moved around. Couldn’t view Inbox till 10-20 clicks on area where my personal icon should display ,for LogOut. Eventually Logged Out. -What caused the blackening and change of Stack settings? Is it Malware? Next, at Apple Support, using a link to an article, 1st page loaded in html-format; next link loaded in normal format. Any solutions? -If I simply change my "Desktop-Stacks-Setting" back to Sort by Kind, will I not lose any files, and they simply be reorganized to Kind-of-File Folders?
