It's not needed; if you turn on "Ignore NoteOffs" (controller 65), 
all NoteOffs are ignored. Be aware that NoteON with velocity = 0 also 
means NoteOff.

I assume you used controller 77 to set manual crossfade, and 
controller 78 to set the fade time.

I can not reproduce that here, but are you using the latest firmware?

I don't know if you have a LanBox-LCX, as then you can have a look 
with LCedit+ what happens. It's also possible that your program sends 
some weird MIDI messages. Anyway I need more details of your setup: 
the type of box and firmware version, and also the used MIDI program.

As this is more a support issue, maybe you can send all your details 
to support at lanbox dot com.
