Handles on subclips doesn't start at beginning...why?

Question

I am using FCP 7.  I make a subclip.  Then I put the subclip into my timeline.  From my understanding, if you open up a subclip, the IN-point should be at the very beginning and the OUT-point should be all the way the end (by default). 
My problem is when I double-click on the subclip on the timeline and SOMETIMES, not all the time, the IN-point doesn't start at the beginning.  Sometimes it's a few frames from the beginning and sometimes it's a second.  The OUT-point is all the way at the end, where it's supposed to be, so that's not a problem.
Can anyone tell me why my IN-point is not at the beginning?
Thanks

Click on the subclip that is demonstrating this problem in the Browser, and once it is selected type Command+9 to see the item properties. Post a screen shot of the item properties here.
Next click anywhere on the timeline, and type Command+0 {zero} to see the Sequence settings. Post a screen shot of your sequence settings here.
In the meantime, anytime FCP begins acting strangely, trashing preferences is a usually recommended as the first step. You can download Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion (free) at:

which will allow you to save your exisiting preference before trashing in case you want to return to them.
