Fixed - I'm not quite sure what I did, but changing various monitor setups, and then re-selecting "detect display" seems to have cured all screen-blanking and screen-shifting problems

Thanks - some time ago the bug disappeared - monitor settings were also
changed, suggesting that a particular video configuration was induced
which my monitor would not cope with, unless settings were changed,
possibly to some 'auto' configuration.
