It does that... just keep it in mind during the development.
I'm sure someone can give you a more technical explanation, but when you put it in the fix, it clears away all any area that is not fully developed. If you turn the light on (don't do this with a final print), and insert it in the fix, you can see how the print "clears" itself in the fix.
I often find that my blacks in the print don't look truly black until they are in the fix... and if I have a print in the wash tray while I am developing the next print... the one in the wash looks noticeably darker.
