BUG! Unable to set or use the Audio Transition Default Duration

Premiere Pro > Settings > Timeline Preferences....
ISSUE 1: When I set the "Audio Transition Default Duration" to  .01 seconds and click okay, it seems to be saved. If I go back into the settings, it still shows as I saved it. However, if I try and apply the default transition to an audio clip, it applies .02 seconds instead of the .01 seconds I saved. 

ISSUE 1: When I set the "Audio Transition Default Duration" to  1 frame, the moment I click anything outside of the textfield, it automatically changes the frame number from 1 to 2, so I'm unable to set the "Audio Transition Default Duration"t to 1 frame. However, if I apply the 2 frames to an audio clip, I am able to manually adjust to 1 frame. but the default setting doesnt work. 

Why this is so important to fix
When editing on the timelime, I'm still able to manually edit the transition duration from .02 seconds  to .01 seconds or 2 frames to 1 frames, but for my current project I have thousands of clips to do this to, so you can see why this issue is very important to me. 

Thank you, kindly. 

P.S. I'm using a Mac Studio M2 Max with Sonora 14.6.1 and the latest version of Premiere Pro.
