When shrinking an audio clip, the mistake of grabbing the small rectangle of the fade handle occurs.

The fade handle function was added in the 24.4.1 update.
However, when controlling an audio clip with the mouse, you end up grabbing the fade handle when you want to grab the edge of the clip.
It should be made so that this doesn't happen by mistake, or it should be possible to turn the fade handle on and off.

 

オーディオクリップを縮めたい時、フェードハンドルの小さな四角形をつかんでしまう

24.4.1のアップデートでフェードハンドル機能が搭載されました。
しかしながら、オーディオクリップをマウス操作でコントロールする時、クリップの端をつかみたいのにフェードハンドルをつかんでしまいます。
誤操作しないように工夫してほしい、もしくは、フェードハンドルのオン/オフの切り替えできるようにしてほしい。

I'm attending an Adobe event in Austin tonight, and I've printed out this request with some ideas of my own in case I run into any UX/Development people.

Upvoted! I prefer to use a shortcut to apply the fade out and then happy to use the mouse! ☝️

Upvoted!
This is a feature that is so rarely used compared to every other action you might do with your mouse on the audio track. I do use this feature, but it would genuinely save me time to have this as something that I needed to turn on every once in a while, compared to all the times I need to 'ctrl+z' after I accidentally grabbed the fade handle. 
Thank you, and get on it Adobe.

Upvoted, the fact that we can't turn it off is really annoying

exactly, its like 1 guy at the company thought this was a useful idea for his own editing purposes and decided to implement it for everybody, but nobody even uses this.

A very annoying function without the ability to disable. It makes sense to give such new functionality for testing to those who work in the program every day, and not just create new functions without understanding whether they are needed at all or not.

Please Adobe, need to have the option to turn this off or on. This is insane.
