yes -- that's very typical for resolve. there are lots similar pseudo features, that got implemented to generate buzz at some product presentation, but never worked very well in real live. bug reports related to this issues usually get ignored in a matchless consequent way. yes -- that's the bad side of resolve.
but IMHO it still looks more acceptable then the bad state of affairs in lightworks land. resolves strategy concerning this issues may be characterized as very indifferent, but on the lightworks side things get dictated in much worse and stupid way.
automatic clip alignment by sound correlation is very well example for this kind of troubles.
in resolve it got implemented, but never worked acceptable in practice. in lightworks the project leaders simply ignore any user request for such a feature for years. that's why at minimum three independent substitutes were written by users to fill the gap (as you may know. i was one of them
). but satisfying solutions can only be archived in cooperation and mutual support, not against the power of software factories. that's why all this three development attempts didn't change much at the end.
i don't know, why editing solutions still do not give us similar APIs for customization and add on development as any compositing application nowadays? this would make it very easy, to solve tasks like yours. that's why i expressed my sympathies about nuke-studio/hiero in a previous post. it's the closest answer to this kind of need. resolve represents more the opposite side. it's becoming more and more a solution for the typical macintosh user crowd. that isn't bad per se. if i do editing/grading work, i also usually want solutions, that simply work fast and maximize my creativity. but i always stumble over task, where i would like to see more openness to adapt the tools to my specific needs.

yes -- this kind of feature makes some sense.
i would not use lightworks antiquated and idiosyncratic terminology to denote it, but otherwise i second your request.
