1. Launch Eclipse. If already running, please quit and restart.
2. Right-click on a directory or package and select New, then File (notice that the parent folder text field has a yellow-ish background.)
3. Type in a name, like foo.txt and click Finish.
4. Add at least 1.5 times the number of lines shown in the editor to the newly created text file. Doesn't matter what it is or whether you type or copy/paste. For a window that shows 35 lines of text, I have to add at least 52 lines for the problem to occur.
5. Now use the page-up/page-down buttons (on a MacBook it's fn+arrown-down and fn+arrow-up) and notice how the background of the scrolled area(s) turn progressively more yellow-ish. This problem does NOT occur if you scroll with the scroll bar or move the cursor with the arrow up/down buttons - it MUST be page-up and page-down.
6. Shut down Eclipse.
7. Launch Eclipse.
8. Open the same file you just created.
9. Scroll up and down using page-up and page-down. Notice the discoloration does not happen.
10. Right-click on a directory or package and select New, then File. Notice again the yellow-ish tint to the parent folder text field.
11. Click Cancel.
12. Click on the text file and scroll up/down again with page-up/page-down and notice the reappearance of the yellow-ish discoloration.
13. Right-click on a directory or package and select New, then File. Now notice the parent folder text field is no longer yellow, but white as expected.
14. Restart Eclipse to "cure" the scroll discoloration.
