当重新绘制并且光标在项目上方时，ListViewItem失去背景色

Question

I have a listview control obviously with numerous listviewitems, whenever the control is repainted the item which the mouse is "over" at the time loses it's background colour (ie. it's white).

Once the item is painted again and the cursor is not over it the correct background colour is restored.

Does anyone know why this happens and how it can be stopped?

Any help would be appreciated

To expand on this and hopefully give a little more context....

It's happening on Windows 7, .NET 3.5 (although it was also happening when the project was targetted at 4.0 too). The theme on my dev computer is Viao Theme 5, however it also happens on another of my machines which has the default Windows 7 theme.

The listview is instantiated like this...

        this.PlaylistTrackList.Cursor = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.Hand;
        this.PlaylistTrackList.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;
        this.PlaylistTrackList.FullRowSelect = true;
        this.PlaylistTrackList.HeaderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.ColumnHeaderStyle.Nonclickable;
        this.PlaylistTrackList.LabelWrap = false;
        this.PlaylistTrackList.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(4, 4);
        this.PlaylistTrackList.Margin = new System.Windows.Forms.Padding(4);
        this.PlaylistTrackList.MultiSelect = false;
        this.PlaylistTrackList.UseCompatibleStateImageBehavior = false;
        this.PlaylistTrackList.View = System.Windows.Forms.View.Details;

Let's say there are 5 list view items, A,B,C,D, and E. If the background color property of items BC and D is red, nothing is selected and nothing is going to be selected. When the list view control is redrawn for whatever reason and the cursor happens to be over any of items BC or D then the item is drawn with a white background color not red as it should be. However once the mouse is not over the item again and its redrawn is returns to red.

How can I stop it always drawing the item that the cursor is over with a white background regardless of the "real" background color property?

Initialize the ListView control as follows:

    listView1.BackColor = Color.Black;
    listView1.ForeColor = Color.White;
    listView1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
    listView1.View = View.Details;
    listView1.FullRowSelect = true;
