Bug: Fade transitions unusable with CUDA / GPU acceleration

I swear this is one of the biggest and oldest bugs in Premiere. Depending on the type of graphics being used, this can make cross dissolves / fading in & out unusable when CUDA / hardware acceleration is enabled (who wants to edit with 'Software only'? that's not why I spent so much money on my computer and Adobe software - to be transported back to the year 2010 performance wise)

See the attached video, how with CUDA hardware acceleration enabled, the first frame (at about 5% opacity) looks like it's about 60% opacity - so basically impossible to get a normal looking fade in. See how my title just very suddenly appears like it was edited horribly by some cheap app on a phone.

Edit:

Here's my comparison of results exporting - Software only vs CUDA enabled:

Hello @lflegg,

Thanks for the message. It’s been a long time since you filed this bug, and I apologize for the lack of a response. Are you still having this issue? If so, the team will need more information from you to reproduce the bug. Can you provide the information required here? How do I write a bug report?

I'll move your post to the Discussions board while we await your information.

Thanks,

Still no solution provided for this...

Changing "composite in linear color" doesn't help.

In Premiere------sequence setting menu-uncheck the box --composite in linear color ( require GPU acceleration or max render quality )

Thanks but you can very clearly see the issue in my video - if you want to skip the context/settings and the comparison to Software Only, just go to 00:57.

Using screen recording software isn't going to show it much clearer than this section of my video (it's also a bit more faff as I have Premiere on 2x 4K screens)

I'll have a look at Filmimpact dissolve..though I think this issue affects gradients and all kinds of logarithmic(?) properties across Premiere
