Fuji 15-45 Functioning

I recently bought a 15-45 lens to go with my old X-E2 as a lightweight walkabout setup.

Did not expect much, but quite like the combination and have gotten excellent results.

However I am irritated by the way it zooms in and out again when you want to look at an image. Surely it can just stay zoomed to where it is? Is there any was to fix this in settings?

Then I notice different behavior when using my X-T3. On the X-T3 the focus ring can be used for fine zoom adjustments but not on the X-E2. Again am I missing a setting?

I went trough all the manuals I have but could not see reference to the above.

I would love Fuji to fix the firmware on the lens so that it does not retract when chimping and the focus ring to consistently work as a fine zoom adjustment when not in manual mode. Across all bodies.
