Dropbox menu bar icon keeps moving to the left after shutdown

Question

The Dropbox icon on my Mac suddenly started moving from its original position in my menu bar all the way to the left (as I like to customize the order of the icons for efficiency... )

I move it back using the CMD key to re-order the menu bar icons, but every time I shut down or restart, it moves back to the end of the line of icons...

Before: Dropbox Icon near the middle

After Shutdown/Restart: (moves to the left???)

Can someone please help me out?

Before you ask, I have fully updated all the apps and the software

Device: MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)

OS: macOS Monterey 12.7

This is not an Apple issue. If it was, why would it only be the Dropbox icon that does it, and none of the other 8 app icons I have that have stayed where I put them for the last 5 years? It's ludicrously annoying.

No. It's an old Mac with an old OS. I did search thoroughly though, and looked for workarounds using AppleScript, to no avail. I'll just leave the Dropbox icon on the left.

Hey @billearl, sorry to hear about this.

Did you get the chance to look into this with Apple?
