Annoying unpredictable crossfades (picts attached)

I can see where that would be useful— in those rare cases where you are sure that there won’t be some unwanted sound hiding beyond the edges of the clips that you are cross-fading. In post production this is pretty much never, but still, I see where you could want that feature. But surely wanting to crossfade the overlapping clips by the amount of the overlap is the more common needed functionality. No?
