Those black lines are known as "Split Lines" they are intentional, clicking on them will remove the,

I can see that if you zoom in at the individual sample level there is a light-gray bar behind the black split line - which looks like silence, but isn't (I suspect it's just the graphic display avoiding showing a very fat black band at high magnifying levels).

If you zoom in like that and then click on the black line to remove it you will see that the audio becomes continuous - no silence.

This is the only "gap" that I'm getting:

The "gap" is precisely the space between the last sample of one repeat and the first sample of the next - in other words it is no gap at all.
If you "Select All" (Ctrl+A) then "Join" (Ctrl+J) the last sample of one repeat is "reconnected" to the first sample of the next repeat, There is no gap.

If you are getting more of a gap than that, please send a screenshot to show what you are seeing. (Screenshot tools are in the Help menu).

Yup, that's exactly like the "gap" I get.
