This is my experience too. If you play the track in its entirety it plays gaplessly. If you skip forward it won’t. The funny thing here is… I bet a lot of people are skipping to the end to check gapless is working correctly!
You can actually see the work around they have implemented if you look closely. About 5s before the track ends the timer will freeze (this must be when the next track is buffered) and then it’ll jump ahead to the first few seconds in the next track. But, if you’re not looking at the timer, it sounds gapless.
After initially feeling frustrated with Roon, I am now pretty impressed with what they’ve done!
