Auto fades

  1. set up audio track with auto fades enabled:
  2. record audio on track
    3, splice a section of the audio part using the scissors with at least one cut across an audio peak (not silence for example)
  3. reduce volume of sliced / split section using the volume handle on the region (not using offline process)
  4. Playback just before cut section.

Result: When playhead moves across cut, there is an audible click even if “auto fades” are enabled.

Applying a manual crossfade solves the problem.

Can anyone else confirm?
