Apps and Installations

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

Hey @jblfv31, thanks for reaching out to our Community.
If I'm honest, this is not something that's controlled by the Dropbox app.
Have you reached out to Apple to discuss this?
Let us know what you find.

Hey @billearl, sorry to hear about this.
Did you get the chance to look into this with Apple?

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.
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.
