ListViewItem style doesn't work correctly

Question

I have a strange issue today. I have the following ListView:

<ListView ItemsSource="{x:Bind ViewModel.Items, Mode=OneWay}"
                          IsItemClickEnabled="True"
                          SelectionMode="Single"
                          x:Name="listviewZoomedIn"
                          ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ListViewCustomItemStyle}"/>

And the ItemContainerStyle named "ListViewCustomItemStyle" is the following:

<Style TargetType="ListViewItem" x:Key="ListViewTransmitterItemStyle">
    <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{ThemeResource ContentControlThemeFontFamily}" />
    <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{ThemeResource ControlContentThemeFontSize}" />
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{ThemeResource SystemControlForegroundBaseHighBrush}" />
    <Setter Property="TabNavigation" Value="Local"/>
    <Setter Property="IsHoldingEnabled" Value="True"/>
    <Setter Property="Padding" Value="12,0,12,0"/>
    <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left"/>
    <Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
    <Setter Property="MinWidth" Value="{ThemeResource ListViewItemMinWidth}"/>
    <Setter Property="MinHeight" Value="{ThemeResource ListViewItemMinHeight}"/>
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="ListViewItem">
                <ListViewItemPresenter
      ContentTransitions="{TemplateBinding ContentTransitions}"
      SelectionCheckMarkVisualEnabled="True"
      CheckBrush="{ThemeResource SystemControlForegroundBaseMediumHighBrush}"
      CheckBoxBrush="{ThemeResource SystemControlForegroundBaseMediumHighBrush}"
      DragBackground="{ThemeResource ListViewItemDragBackgroundThemeBrush}"
      DragForeground="{ThemeResource ListViewItemDragForegroundThemeBrush}"
      FocusBorderBrush="{ThemeResource SystemControlForegroundAltHighBrush}"
      FocusSecondaryBorderBrush="{ThemeResource SystemControlForegroundBaseHighBrush}"
      PlaceholderBackground="{ThemeResource ListViewItemPlaceholderBackgroundThemeBrush}"
      PointerOverBackground="{ThemeResource SystemControlHighlightListLowBrush}"
      PointerOverForeground="{ThemeResource SystemControlHighlightAltBaseHighBrush}"
      SelectedBackground="{ThemeResource SystemControlHighlightListAccentLowBrush}"
      SelectedForeground="{ThemeResource SystemControlHighlightAltBaseHighBrush}"
      SelectedPointerOverBackground="{ThemeResource SystemControlHighlightListAccentMediumBrush}"
      PressedBackground="Orange"
      SelectedPressedBackground="{ThemeResource SystemControlHighlightListAccentHighBrush}"
      DisabledOpacity="{ThemeResource ListViewItemDisabledThemeOpacity}"
      DragOpacity="{ThemeResource ListViewItemDragThemeOpacity}"
      ReorderHintOffset="{ThemeResource ListViewItemReorderHintThemeOffset}"
      HorizontalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
      VerticalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"
      ContentMargin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
      CheckMode="Inline"/>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

In this style I just changed the PressedBackground color. And this work only for the first click on an item. Then, the pressed background is transparent.

Answer 1

Right under the PressedBackground property that you changed to Orange, is the SelectedPressedBackgroundproperty. This defines the pressed state color for an item that is selected. Change that to Orange or any color that you need and it should work.
