Thanks J Reverb!! Works perfectly

Glad to hear you share my annoyance as well!

I still have a hard time believing this was deliberate...or why? Why would anyone prefer this behavior to having the items keep their color!?

More likely they didn't pick up on this behavior while coding and testing it.
(if it was tested with all item colors to their default grey, you would never notice this of course)

However, that's the beauty of Reaper! As much as we'd all prefer to have things taken care of natively, if it isn't, resourceful and capable users can just write a script to solve their issues!

I noticed another odd behavior when glueing two items that are in 'Free item positioning' on one track (using Reaper's native glue action):
It not only greys out the item but it MOVES it down below the other item??
Same kind of thing, I can't believe this was intentional, too weird.

Harder to explain that to show:

Another minor annoyance is, you'll notice that the color gradient doesn't change when empty items are selected. So no way to tell if an item is selected or not??
