Even a short burst of direct sun through a window can get hot enough to burn leaves... and if you don't catch it in the act, the sun shifts before you notice and don't realize the blast that it got. You might try moving it back from the window a little, or add a sheer curtain to "take the edge off" the heat. Also, you can feel the leaves - if hot to the touch, move the plant. The "daily average" amount of light may be be perfect, but the peak may be too intense and you do have to be concerned about the extremes.
