When the 'fast view' is first opened the color is grey. Then when it reopens it is fixed (it is grey) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Set console as Fast View 2.Set console to open when only standard error occurs 3.Set background color of console to gray (#BFBFBF) 4.Close Eclipse 5.Restart Eclipse and do some compile and watch the console when it pop-ups
Confirmed for Windows 7 Enterprise (64-bit) under Java 1.6.0_20-b02 as well. I have my Console background set to black. However, when I close Eclipse and re-open it, the displayed background Console color reverts to white. However, my preferences show it "should" be black. Reproducible: Always Steps to reproduce: 1. Load Eclipse 2. Set console background color to something aside from white 3. Close Eclipse 4. Re-open Eclipse; background color for Console will now be white. Preferences still show it as the selected color from step 2. Color cannot be changed until a different color is selected (i.e. select different color from that of step 2, hit 'Apply', then re-select original choice).

When the console is auto-cleared, e.g. another compile is done, then the background color will be fixed.

Very true for applications which use the console directly; however, the same workaround does not appear to have an effect when the console is used strictly for server status.
This is still occurring and it's not a platform specific bug (I've tested the Mac/Linux and Windows versions). The last Eclipse 3.7 integration build still have this bug.
Still happens with Windows 7 x64 bit Build id: 20100917-0705
