That sounds something like having an X11 screen larger than the
monitor it is on, and X panning around that. Typically, though,
panning requires the mouse to hit the border of the monitor.
If that's what is happening, try right clicking-on the desktop
to get the application menu, and run Settings => Desktop; then
reset the resolution to what your monitor actually supports.
FWIW, I've noticed that Xfce eventually gets confused about the settings
for my display. I don't know what triggers it, but I'll suddenly notice
that the display has gone from 1920x1200 to 1920x1080. Resetting it
works (under Display, not Desktop). I don't see the problem with MATE,
KDE, Cinnamon, or i3.
This is on Debian 11, amd64 desktop (radeon 3000 video), Acer 23"
monitor.
