Ableton bugs

I recently switched over to Ableton Live, and it's been easy figuring everything out. But there's a horribly aggravating bug: the crossfades randomly undo themselves. Then if I fix one crossfade that's been randomly undone, it undoes the crossfade in the clip next to it. To make matter worse, if I undo the crossfade fix to bring the other crossfade back, it doesn't bring it back. Undo seems to remember the past differently when it comes to crossfades. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a workaround? I haven't been able to find any complaints about the same problem from other people online, but surely others have experienced this issue.

There's another problem also relating to crossfades -random clicks and pops occuring within the fade. Other people have had this problem, but no one seems to have a solution for it.

*Oh yeah, almost forgot --copy/pasting a section that uses crossfades removes all crossfades!

Any help would be appreciated. If these problems persist I will probably go back to using Acid.

Are you dealing with frozen audio? It tends to split in separate parts, even though all parts have the full audio data, and the fade info only sticks to one version of the clip. I think you're dragging the wrong crossfade, that tends to cancel out the fade next to it. You may have to change the setting that decides whether crossfades are available on default to get rid of the fades disappearing. I dunno, grasping at straws here. Clip crossfades are kinda messy I agree, haven't had clicks and pops though

By frozen audio do you mean audio on a track where I've selected"freeze audio"? I haven't experimented with that yet. Next time this happens I'll see if dragging the other piece of audio prevents the neighboring fade from disappearing. Thanks for the suggestion. I did try changing the auto-fade-edges option to see if that changed something, but nada. Anyway, after meticulously redoing all the crossfades AND recrossfading all the neighboring crossfades that became unsettled by that action, I "consolidated" the tracks. This temporarily sweeps the problem under the rug, but it means I've got an extra 100 megs or so of newly formed wav files cluttering up my hard drive... which will suck if I have to do this every time I want crossfades to feature in a track.
