Single frame flash with Fader (v11)

Hi,
Thank you for writing such a great program. I'm currently evaluating it for use at our company. It is working great so far, except for this issue that I found:
Using two video sources "A" and "B" with "A" in "hot" mode (green bar) and "B" in "Standby" mode (orange bar).
The Fader functionality appears to work this way:
1) Initial state: "hot" @ 100%, "standby" @ 0% 2) During Fade: "hot" @ 100%-fade, "standby" @ 0%+fade 3) Upon Fade completion: reset fader from 100% back to 0%, swap video sources
The issue I have detected is that during fade completion I get one video frame from the wrong source.
I think what is happening is that the operation to reset the fader back to 0 and the swap of the video sources does not occur as an atomic operation, allowing the system to squeeze off one frame from "A" in between.
1) A in "hot" 2) B in "standby" 3) fader at 99% 4) frame out=mostly "standby" 5) fader reaches 100% 6) frame out=All "standby" (one full frame of B) 7) swap A and B (A is now "standby", B is "hot") 8) frame out=All "standby" due to fader being at 100% still (one full frame of A) 9) reset fader back to 0% 10) frame out=All "hot" (one full frame of B)
It is irrelevant in what order 7 and 9 are done, as the final effect will be the same. What needs to happen is that 7 and 9 need to take place before 8
I hope that makes sense to you. I can send you a video clip if you like.
Thanks,
Hector

Hi Hector,
The issue usually appears if the fade bar is held on to after the fade is complete. I will look into some options to prevent this in the next version.
