Created attachment 116128 [details] Invisible text in the compare editor Using build I20081021-0905. I changed the background color of my editors to gray. Now, when I try to compare text files, text is no longer visible in the compare editor as shown in the attached snapshot...
Created attachment 117077 [details] JUnit failing test comparison becomes unusable
Would it be possible to fix this issue? It's definitely annoying especially while trying to debug failing tests as shown in the last attachment! I do not want to change my preferences on all my workspaces (more than 50 dispatched on 4 machines!)
The fix for bug 80213 exposed unexpected behavior in the compare editor when changing the background color. When the background color is changed, the font color is changed at the same time and they both are almost the same. I'm on it.
Frederic, will providing a preference for the text colour will fix the problem for you? As I understand correctly now there isn't such an option. Bug 80213 as Szymon mentioned made compare editor aware of background colour set in preferences. We cannot roll this change back sine old behaviour was invalid.

The problem comes from the fact that the text color seems to have been changed to gray since 3.5...
FYI, this didn't happen with 3.5M2 (I20080918-0100). This may be helpful to identify which code changes broke this functionality...

The problem comes from the fact that the text > color seems to have been changed to gray since 3.5... Right, there is no need for a new pref. The issue was caused by the fact that we set the same color for background and text in text compare. Patch from Pawel fixes the problem. The patch is in HEAD.
