Fusion window changes size and location every time it opens

Something that I and others have posted about before, with no fixes yet: the Fusion window changes size and location from the last time it was closed when run again. This is on Windows 10, single monitor system, running the application as a seperate window not full screen. Windows and driver are all most recent versions.
Behavior is easy to show in my case: just run Fusion, make mental note of where it is on the screen, and shut down fusion (X in corner). Then, start Fusion again - window is taller and farther down the screen than before. Doing this multiple times in a row, the application window quickly winds up off the bottom of the screen, behind the taskbar at the bottom, and top of the window winds up at the top of the screen.
I did this a number of times in a row, not moving or resizing the window, and also captured copies of the NLastDisplayedLaout.xml file each time after shutting down the application. What I notice is that the workspace position values in the fourth line of the file keep changing. Here is the sequence from one run to the next:
<Area Contents="Workspace" Placement="Absolute" Rect="211,1889,1004,513" Visible="True">
<Area Contents="Workspace" Placement="Absolute" Rect="211,1891,1036,513" Visible="True">
<Area Contents="Workspace" Placement="Absolute" Rect="211,1893,1068,513" Visible="True">
<Area Contents="Workspace" Placement="Absolute" Rect="211,1895,1100,513" Visible="True">
<Area Contents="Workspace" Placement="Absolute" Rect="211,1897,1132,513" Visible="True">
As you can see, the second and third numbers both go up by two every iteration. No windows were dragged or resized, so they should come up the same each time.
One other experiment I did was to change those numbers up or down by 100 then start Fusion again, and the numbers went back to where they were (plus 2), ignoring the changes. That makes me wonder if Fusion is pulling its starting location from somewhere else entirely??
Either way, WHY does the window not remember its last size and location correctly? It used to work properly in the past (this behavior started several months ago).
Also, to others, PLEASE dont chime in with whether it works on Mac properly, or suggest running fullscreen, etc - lets keep this thread focused on this one issue - thanks.
