Description William Alexander CLA 2013-02-20 13:22:38 EST 
In Eclipse 4.2.2, modifying the Colors and Fonts preferences for View and Editor folders no longer works.  The recreate steps are below:
1. Start a new workspace
2. Click window - Preferences
3. Click on General - Appearance - Colors and Fonts
4. Expand View and Editor folders at the bottom and change some of the colors.
5. The preview looks correct but when the user clicks apply the client workbench does not show any of the changed colors or fonts. 
This occurs in all perspectives and no errors are produced in the log.

Note: The changed colors can be viewed in the folder tabs in the Run Configurations as well as the Debug Configurations.
