The fades may've existed at that timecode point earlier in the sessions history tho, check all hours as well (if you've multiple reels in your session). It's like the fade gets it's time stamp from when it was created, and then conforms or edits move it around.

I went through a bunch of sessions last year that were having massive conforms and found these by zooming in like crazy and tabbing my way through each crossfade - eventually I saw a few that were wiggy, fade was still there - but just looked like half of that crossfade was gone from the waveform... recreate the fade and problem solved..

Not a great workaround.... But a tidy session afterwards!
