Description Ashish Choudhari

2012-09-17 08:23:19 EDT

I have been setting a different colour scheme for my console. When I restart Eclipse, console background changes to default colour WHITE.

When I check the preferences, it shows the colours I had selected before restart. To change the white background to the one I had select, I have to change the colour to different one and then have to select the old one again.

Its annoying to do on every restart. Can someone please help?

Works fine for me using
R3.8: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.8-201206081200/
R4.2: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.2-201206081400/

with these steps:

1. start new workspace
2. on Run/Debug > Console change text and background color
3. paste the following snippet into the 'Package Explorer':
--- %< ---
class A {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		System.out.println("works just fine");
	}
	
}
--- %< ---
4. run it
==> colors as expected
5. exit
6. start with previous workspace
7. run the snippet
==> colors as set in step 2.

OK, I can reproduce the bug: if I close the Console before I exit, then the first time the Console open, it has the wrong background color.
