Changing text colors doesn't seem to have an effect on either the preview or in the editor after being saved.

- If you change the Java Editor Text Font color to something other than black,
it says that it overrides the default, but it will appear the same as the
default in the preview and in the editor after being saved.

Options to change JUST colors (and not the font) seems to work fine though (eg.
changing content assist color works fine).

Reproducible: Always

Same as in 3.6.

The color controls should not be shown at all in the dialog, see bug 35890.

To change the text color, use the Text Editors preference page (Foreground color). Note that for Java editors, the Syntax Coloring preference page also has a word to say.
