How?
Can you provide step by step instructions or offer an example session?

When combining MIDI regions, MIDI data is played back and re-recorded, so initially there are many explicit CC events like in your 2nd screenshot,, but since 7.1.212 (and now 7.2) those are removed via automation thinning afterwards. This works fine here.

1. Create a default empty session
2. Add a single MIDI track
3. Add a region
3. Add some simple automation (e.g. bender)
4. Add another region right next to the first one
5. Select both regions -> right click -> edit -> combine

Attaching a minimal session with all steps except for 0000005

I'm not sure why the number sign in the previous message was converted to a link
