Extra frames on the ends of clips after cutting or even moving clips

PE 2025 - didn't have this issue on previous versions.

Example: Clip A is next to Clip B - If I cut/trim the end of A, 1-2 frames then attach to B. Most times I can trim these off (but I can't spend forever doing this on every cut), but other times it does not work. I can keep trimming, but the erroneous frame stays attached.

Example: This one doesn't even involve cutting. Clip A has no surrounding clips. Empty timline on both sides. If I move A next to clip B, at the point they join, Clip A now has a 1-2 black empty frames attached to it (from before when it has blank space on both sides).

No matter if I clear Media Cache, delete the clips off the timeline, and then reinsert them, the issue remains. I've got to resolve this because it's on nearly every cut point. Can anyone school me on resolving this and/or why this occurs?

Error or problem

Adding here since I wasn't able to edit the original post:

Example: Clip A is on track 1, and Clip B is on track 2. They have some overlap. If I remove Clip A completely from the timeline, sometimes a frame then appears in Clip B.

Dont cut but try and use the selection tool or Ripple edit tool.

Thanks... but it occurs even if no cutting is happening. For example, if I place Clip A on the timeline without any clips nearby, and then move it adjacent to another clip... Clip A will now often have leading black frames on it (from when it was positioned with nothing around it). It seems like no matter where the clips are or if anything is nearby, they often adopt what's next to them even without cutting. And it's across tracks. For example, if Clip A is on one track and let's say runs for 5 seconds (just for the editing discussion) and Clip B is on another track below it and runs for 10 seconds (not sure if the below has any bearing), and Clip A is totally removed from the timeline... often a frame(s) from A will still display somewhere in B. Strangest stuff.
