Logic Pro X 10.4: added automation features and crashing?

Hi all, it looks like there are some cool added automation features, but confusing at times. Is there a link on how to use them?

I see there's a selection in the drop-down track header configuration menu on each track (right-click in the track's track header field) that says "consolidate relative and absolute [whichever automation function you're using] automation." I was having trouble at first with automation functions changing around by using my normal "previous version" clicks, but have discovered that if you click this "consolidate relative and absolute...." the automation functions work like previous Logic Pro.

One of the problems I'm having with the new automation: say you're working with volume automation, when you solo the track to hear the changes on the isolated track (something I do constantly) the track automation suddenly switches to show the "soloed" function and you have to click "volume" again to get the volume automation back into view. Quite distracting, I feel.

Also, Logic has intermittently crashed a couple times when I merely clicked this new "consolidate relative...automation." The entire program just disappears?? The "auto-save" is a life-saver when this happens.

Anyone else with these problems? Any fix?

Thanks!
