Embedding visio diagram in word document adds padding to right and bottom (2019)


I am using Word and Visio 2019. Created a new word document, and a new Visio document (8.5x11). I then created a swimlane in Visio and resized it to 6.5" and then CTRL+A, CTRL+C in Visio, and then CTRL+V in word, and word for some reason adds whitespace to the right and bottom of the diagram.

I can crop this whitespace away, but there is no way to tell word to crop to a specific size so I get some random sized diagram in my document. Is there a way to auto crop the added whitespace, or tell Word to import the diagram without adding the white space?

Update: Fixed CTRL+P -> CTRL+V. Also, it appears that this was a bug with Word/Visio as the problem disappeared after an update.
