Hello.
In places like java code formatter editor's on the whitespace tab, there is a treetable used to select where eclipse will put whitespace. On windows, I can see whether some element of this tree is on or off. on linux I don't see any indication of it's state.
It is a general problem affecting all such controls, not only this one.

Moving to SWT.  Michal is specifically referring to the an instance of org.eclipse.ui.dialogs.ContainerCheckedTreeViewer which is just a wrapper around an SWT Tree with SWT.CHECKED.  To see it in action:

1. Preference > Java > Code Style > Formatter
2. Choose "Edit"
3. Select White space.
4. From the combo box at the bottom, choose "Sort options by Syntax element"

The left hand side should become a Tree with checkboxes.

On OS X, I hear reports via Voice Over.

On Ubuntu 14.04 with Orca, I get no reports of checked state.

This seems to have been previously reported as bug 220030.
