I found a work around but I need some help to see what I am doing wrong.
If I use Bridge and select a photo it opens in Camera Raw as expected. After I select Open in Camer Raw it will go to Photoshop as expected. If Photoshop is not already open then the mouse selections are messed up. I can't accurately select from the Menus. Such as Type, Select, Filter, 3D...etc.. If I click on Filter for example it selects Layer. If I click on View then it selects Filter. The alignment is off to the left. Then if I want to make selections on a photo with the tools. I can use the Spot Healing tool for example and instead of selecting just the spot it will create a line across the photo. If I expand the size of the tool it just creates a large line. I can't select just the spot of the size of the healing brush. This crazy mouse movement happens with all the tools if I open Photoshop this way.
If I open Photoshop prior to allowing Camera Raw in auto open then everything works perfectly. The problem appears to happen only in the way Photoshop is opened. I can work around the problem. But I would like to find out why this happens.

I've only seen this once, and it was 15 or 20 years ago. I had the student reset Preferences and all was well. Try Edit > Preferences > General > Reset Preferences on Quit after backing up customization.
You can also rename the Preferences file and let PS create a new one. If it doe

Apologies for not seeing your post for almost a week.

I did the reset and it might have worked. At least for the time being. I kind of feel silly if it was that simple. I have been using Photoshop for 15+ years and consider myself pretty good at it. Not an expert but I can navigate pretty good. I should have thought of this. I will keep at it and see if that indeed was all it was. Thank you for your help!!

I spoke too soon. It worked for 24 hours. The next day I am back to the menu items not lining up with the mouse click. It only occurs again if I start Photoshop though Camera Raw. I do a fresh start of Photoshop first then everything is okay.
