Captions - Close Gap Between Caption Segments

I thought this was an early stage bug, but it's been present since launch.

Inside the Create Captions dialog, selecting "0 frames" leaves gaps between caption segments. Has been a bug since Captions was introduced. Bug occurs with all frame rates (23.976, 24, 25, , 29,97, etc.).

There is no built in way to eliminate gaps in Captions, aside from manually dragging each clip edge.

Solutions below:

1. Selecting "0 frames" should result in 0 frames of gaps

2. Add Sequence > Captions > Close Gaps dialog

• Auto-extends each caption segment to hit the next caption segment
• If last caption segment, do not extend

3. Add Timing dialog inside Text > Captions panel

• Stopwatch symbol next to the pencil
• Modeled after Aegisub Timing Post-Processor
• Options for: Lead-in/lead-out, make adjacent captions continuous
