It's impossible to read the code in the Hover-field if editor-background is black and statements are white none

Description Peter Zangerl CLA 2004-06-03 15:44:57 EDT 
I've discovered a problem using Code-Hovers.
If the background-color of the editor is set to black and statements are
displayed in white you can't read code displayed in Code-Hovers. (beacause the
background-color of the Hover-field is a light yellow)

In prior versions of Eclipse (e.g. 2.1.2) this problem evan existed when code
was previewed in the Preferences-dialog. (e.g. when editing code-templates) You
had to select the whole code to read it. This problem is fixed now (3.0 M9) but
reamins for Code-Hover-fields.

I've attatched a image which should show my problem better.

Kim, please reassign to the right person if this isn't solely a colour issue.

In addition, the same problem appears in the "declaration" view of the
"Java"-Perspective and when hovering over folded Java code.
