Shortening word gaps cuts out actual material

When I use AI to shorten word gaps, it goes overboard. It truncates laughter, crosstalk and, often, actual dialogue that, for some reason, Descript didn't transcribe (usually the last word or two of someone speaking). Then I have to play back the entire composition and manually re-extend the shortenings that cut off too early. At the end of it, I don't save any time with this tool. This tool should be changed to just be "shorten gaps" rather than "shorten WORD gaps."
