Loses color after "Glue items"???
Nothing in Manual on this, may be bug or at least "unwanted behaviour".

Can anyone reproduce this?

1 Create New Track (for a Loop)
2 Create track and record something for about one bar (four beats), anything will do, even hand claps.
3 Right Click the Track > "Item and take colors" (4 down in pulldown menu) > "Set active take to custom color" (6 down in pulldown menu)
4 Choose a color, push OK . . . track takes on that color.
5 Right Click Track again and choose: Glue items

Question: Does your color you just inputted disappear?

Please let me know :-)

Mac Dual Intel-Snow Leopard
Reaper v3.62/74

This is not a bug but probably not a expected behavior either. Glue creates a new item (it actually renders the item and creates a new file in your project directory so it's a completely different media file) so this new item just takes your track color. Instead of gluing you can use 'Render items as new take" (if you're working on one item), this will also create a new file but instead of replacing the original item will add it as a take so it should preserve your color (in this case you should use 'Set items to custom color...' and not 'Set active take to custom color..' before rendering, this way the color will stay).
