    If you change the resolution, it does that.

    It tries to rearrange the icons so they fit in a lower resolution.

    It doesn't have to be you that changes the resolution though, it can be an application and the process can take a split second, but if that application does change the resolution, the operating system (windows) must act on it, and you end with these "scary" situations
