This behavior is by design, if the item is set to loop, and the user specifically asks for a crossfade that extends beyond the end of the item.
If you know that you do not want to extend beyond the current visible ends of the item, don't select crossfade time that extends beyond. If you know you don't want the item to loop, set the item to not loop. |

Looped: Unlooped: Manually extending the enclosing items fade later seems the only solution, if this paradigm is in place. |

What is the end state you are trying to accomplish from that first screenshot?

It's just an example pre-crossfading, suppose you copied an area of a looped item, and wanted to enclose it over another item...if you turned loop off on the enclosed item, it will move position to the start of the source file (which maybe isn't what you want).
My thinking is, whatever you are trying to enclose (looped or not), you've probably already set that up for it's finished size before pasting/moving. I think that would be more common than wanting it to loop further upon crossfade (at least for me it is.) I'd also think it's common to crossfade before the enclosed item starts and finishes, depending on the desired result. I can work around this manually extending the enclosing item fade instead, but I believe it will come up again and again from new users. On another note...can the crossfade use the default fades only? (rather than the existing enclosed item's fade shape) |

Schwa, if it's only me that prefers it that way, then forget it...I made a macro using glue and toggle loop that avoids that behaviour happening with extended fade-in/out.

Another funky bug I discovered...look what happens if I modify a crossfade manually (the items do NOT have loop enabled here). If I drag the enclosing item's fade to the left, the enclosed item drags with it...which could be cool I guess for some as a linked crossfade, EXCEPT it nukes the item content of the enclosed item.
before modifying the fade, post crossfade: after modifying the fade: So it's possible to alter the crossfade to the left and nuke the (unlooped I must stress) enclosed item content. You may have to drag the fade slightly to the right first before it shows up, over the crossfade start of the enclosed item. Please don't tell me this is design too... |

Try this...turn snap on with the item starting at a grid point, and drag-select the first grid-area for instance, then hit 'X'...nothing happens, no crossfade. You have to start your selection slightly earlier than the enclosed item start for it to work (see the pic). |

I think all of these issues come from the fact that, in the enclosed item, you are trying to make a fade start before the item content starts. In the screenshot with the red question mark, what should happen? If the item were to extend to the left by adding silence, then the item would begin with a nonzero volume level, which isn't a fade. If you want the enclosing item fadeout to start before the enclosed item fadein, then that's not a crossfade (at least not one you can create with a single action).
Apologies if I am misunderstanding. |

Yes, I have been trying to be creative with the crossfade outside of the design scope I guess. :) For me, the item extension has no value, and kinda cripples it a bit. Others may prefer that behaviour. Leaving those bugs there though, are just editing accidents waiting to happen imo. It's a great feature regardless, doesn't quite work like I expected it to but I'll adapt, many thanks anyway. |

Thanks, that'll be a great improvement if we can start a crossfade with snap enabled, and then turn it off to complete the selection...very tidy.
