It doesn't happen to me anymore. As far as I briefly seen, on version 146.4.4836 this issue seems fixed. I shall need more time to see how this behaves but I shall also thank you in advance for tending to this issue ❤️ If our voice from here really reached the developers, I also congratulate you and the moderator team.

    I have yet to download/install that version, but, based on the responses above, it looks like Dropbox listened to and provided a fix. Thanks Dropbox devs 🙂 and thanks to all the users who take the time to list issues with the Dropbox product here👍
