Hey, im trying to get two gradients to meet smoothly, instead I get sharp edge. Is this bug or am I missing something? Why does it work with white but not other colors?

They're meeting at an angle. You are getting a smooth transition at the very bottom-right of the shapes, because that's where the absolute ends of the gradients are meeting. If you want it completely smooth, your gradients need to end at or before the point where the shapes meet (the top-left of the transition point).

Still strange that the slider didnt work. even if I added More gradient sliders. maybe the distance is too short?

What do you mean when you say the slider didn't work? You can't adjust the gradient?

Never mind, it was the another shape creating the edge. You can delete these posts, thanks for the help.
