Why doesn't Live 11 deafult to random track colours on a new live set any more?

It's only in the last couple weeks that I've noticed Live opens a new live set to the exact same 4 colours. Light orange, tan, brown, and deep orange.

I went into Preferences>Look/Feel>Auto-Assign Track Colours>On but it does nothing. The same 4 colours come up every time. I can't find another setting to change it back so that it is 4 random colours every time I open a new live set. I personally liked that feature. Did a new update change the default template?

Regards

I have no idea why this worked, but I just clicked File>Save Live Set As Default Set, then deleted that template I created, and now it's back to random. This is clearly a bug. Very strange.

If you set a custom default Set it always loads with that Set's colors.
