Version 12.6 is what i was using, but i have 2 other work machines that were on 12.7 and 12.7.1. All perform the same under 12. The real time fade manipulation i dont think is related. If i hover the smart tool in 19.6 up or down from what is pictured it eventually turns into a trim tool like before.. its just that when its centered on the ends of the region its a fade tool now.

The 12.6 release notes seem to be describing the same you are...

"When using the Smart Tool, hovering the mouse over the center third of a fade of any kind will show the Fade icon."

Running 2020.5 on Catalina here and that's what I'm seeing - the Smart Tool turns to a Fade tool in the middle (centered around 0) and a Trim tool above or below that. I'll try and fire up the older versions to double check where this changed.

Uh blast, I think it's working for me now. Not sure what I was doing wrong (I was not getting the expected smart tool behavior at any place vertically along the clip boundaries, except very intermittently). I did trash prefs but not sure that was the time it started working. Sorry not to add any value here. MLaudio if it's something else can you post a video online of the problem you are seeing.

Interesting.. so what that describes is that it was performing "wrong" under 12.6, 12.7 and 12.7.1. Im just so use to that, that this new behavior is messing me up haha. Let me know what you find, i appreciate it!
