It is operating as intended. When a trade first occurs at a certain price level and side (bid or ask) then the "Recent Bid/Ask Same Price and Side Background Color" is not used. Then if a second trade occurs at the same Price and Side, then this background color is used. If the price moves, or if the opposite side is traded, then the background coloring is removed.

This is how it has been coded, and when we watch the trading with these options on, it is how these colors are working. Note that it is possible for it to appear that the coloring is occurring immediately (i.e. for a first trade instead of a second one), due to the Chart Update Interval where two trades would have occurred at the same time and price within that time interval.
