Please post MIDI (item/editor) problems in this thread
The midi item and editor behavior in Reaper is a work in progress.
I've had a few different problems with snapping, looping, copying, tempo changing, all definitely bordering on buggy. I don't imagine it's just me, so I thought it would be constructive to make a list of specific issues and suggest to make a sticky out of it, since midi is a central function.
I will post specific nitpicks in this thread when I get some more time.

The pink rectangle covers an area that is half ruler, half "grabbing area", there's quite a few precious pixels wasted here. Height of those two location indicator boxes would probably suffice for that whole area.

The other half is for project and tempo markers.
However it does make sense to collapse that additional space when those markers are disabled from view.

You didn`t like the OTHER "MIDI issues" thread, that has been around for a very long time?

Which one? This was a sticky with a fitting title. This isn't a major issue anyway, more like a "what if".

Ah, that explains (and reveals that I don't use markers ). But yes, without those it is a big empty area.

That IS rather elegant. Couldnt do that in the last version of BPP but there again that was discontinued in 1991!
Would love to see something like this implemented.
Even basic bezier curves would transform CC editing.

Just did this gif from cubase le7 ( which is how old? ) to highlight some of its midi functionality:
Midi notes outside items ( when copying no butts of notes stick out, everything is clean and tidy )
Copying midi items
Working with cc and automation
Snapping
Other little nicely streamlined elements

I haven't used it for a while, but it is working as fast as it looks.
Other things about midi ed:
being able to change transport position
better grid handling ( and fixed display bugs)
notes extended or drawn outside of the item
Not notes butts on cut items - ( forgot to do that in the video, but will do )
better separation between actions - meaning: make it impossible to change something accidental
Entering notes on click and not on drag or double click.
Better zoom - each zoom level got to display sharp graphics. also no sudden position jumps
Midi item navigator ( for large midi items )
Fixed track list highlights ( not all tracks selected in main view get highlighted )
Smaller/re sizable piano roll kb
Additional inspector interface ( like note details toolbar on the pic below )
Who am I going to be kidding thought? It is worth taking a lot from cubase interface both: physically and ideologically.

I am not sure what you mean by most of these points (please elaborate), but these two are easy to do: just set your mouse modifiers for the first, and your Preferences in View -> Piano roll notes for the second.

The CC edits in your GIFs are indeed neither complex nor advanced, and all of them can easily be done in REAPER.

What "important elements" are you referring to? Are you talking about the MIDI event property window?

Problem with MIDI Latency...
I apologize in advance if this is the wrong thread to be posting this in, I'm tired and frustrated...
I'm using and a Presonus Audiobox USB interface to run midi into Reaper 5.28 and I keep having latency problems. I can see under Preferences - Device: that the latency is about 193ms (which in of itself is weird because I ran Latency Mon and it was telling me that my latency was about 40 micro seconds) I selected the check box under "recording" to use the audio driver reported latency...no change, then I tried entering the value myself, still no change. It's possible that I'm just an idiot and I don't know what I'm doing because I'm a newb when it comes to reaper but if anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very appreciative. Thank you in advance for any thoughts and directions...

Hi and welcome to reaper forums. Yes it is a pain that you posted here, mostly because someone posted a HUGE picture in the thread and my poor little laptop screen cant show the whole screen as I edit!
Re your problem, How have you got your settings in Reaper? I assume you are on PC.
Buffering in general needs to be set carefully to get the best performance in both audio and MIDI.
Download the free reaper guide if you didnt already and check out the fdirst secion on setting your computer up for multitrack recording.
Lots of great info there. Same goed for the free video tutorials also avasilable on the front page of this site.
What keyboard are you using to input MIDI data?
What computer specification and what version of windows and reaper are you using (including 32bit or 64bit)?
Also I assume you are NOT trying to direct your MIDI date out again to an external sound source, just using a regular VSTi?

Midi Editor Niggle
In the midi editor I mapped <right> and <left> to [Navigate: Select next/previous note]. The following behaviour is contrary to what I would expect:
Let's say you have 4 midi notes, with number 2 selected:
[-] [O] [-----] [-]
Now, if you were to delete it and try navigate right, the selection cursor moves back to position 1; I would have expected it to select 3 if I navigated to next, and 1 if i navigated to previous.

Visibility/Editability uncontrollable when using double click to switch items
Edit. As of 5.90, it's possible to leave current item as visible, when switching to a different one. Thanks!
It does this:
The previous item is left Editable, the other reverts to Visible. Tried a bunch of settings. I don't think anything helps. I would prefer to leave the last item as Visible myself.
Maybe two mouse modifiers? One to leave it Editable, one as Visible? Or maybe it can follow one of the settings?

display of midi items draws midi notes wrong in arrange view (they seem to overlap even though they don´t )
in this pic (which i scaled up) they overlap STRONGLY, none of them overlaps in the midieditor though
this would not be a a huge problem BUT splitting items it leaves that "overlapping" (which in reality does NOT exist) as does moving edges and scaling items
like i this gif .. the notes are perfectly aligned and snapped yet see what happens if you split them
sometimes i really get frustrated that midi is such an afterthought in reaper...
