Windows 7 suspend problem when closing Gnome boxes

I noticed a problem getting a Windows 7 guest to suspend when closing the Gnome Boxes window for it. It seems to be doing a hard power-off each time I did so.

To troubleshoot I did the following

sudo apt install -y virt-manager
virsh managedsave win7-ultimat

That allowed for manual suspend of the win7 guest. When I resumed the box, it was running right where I left it, no reboot.

Now when I go to close the Gnome Boxes window, the Windows 7 guest is suspending properly.
