V8i - References not saving position after moving the reference

In 9 years I've never had this happen until the last week or so.

I've run through all settings that I can think of.

Issue: While moving a reference in any file it moves just fine. Annotations move with it. Edits to clips look fine and everything is great. Save and exit the file. The next time I open the file all of the annotations are where they are supposed to be, but the reference is back in its original spot with no edits saved. I can't figure this one out.

We use managed workspaces, but this has been an issue regrdless of which one I am in. I have save setting upon exit shut off but use "save settings" when I make changes to layers, references and such. I thought maybe that was the issue but linework and elemaent changes are set to save automatically. I've never had a change to the position of a reference not save where it is located after being moved.
