Quitting Illustrator and re-opening the document seemed to work. The disconcerting thing is that I did not consciously do anything to cause the problem. Thanks for the help.

Richard,

 

It can happen that Illy (job description Adobe Illustrator) gets confused and simply needs to take a break, nothing to worry about.

Rotated artboard?

Maybe restart machine/reset preferences?
