[GIS] Scale Bar Element moves when using Data Driven Pages

arcgis-desktoparcmapdata-driven-pagesscale bar

I have made many mapbooks using data-driven pages. However I've encountered something strange and wanted to ask to see if anyone might know what's going on or has seen this before.

I have a scale bar in the title block and as I step through each page the scale bar moves slightly (0.0389 inches). I move it back but every time I try to export, the resulting pdf has the scale bar moved by 0.0389 on the first page, 0.0778 on the second, etc.

Seems like a bug, but maybe I'm missing something.

I am running into this on 10.5.1, so I don't believe it was automatically fixed. The scale bar works fine if it's anchored by its left side and allowed to adjust at the right end, but anchored on the right (also with its bottom-right Anchor Point selected in Properties > Size and Position tab > Position field) will eventually make it walk off the page.
