Created attachment 274930 [details] Character that is not italic When syntax coloring uses an italic font style, newly typed characters are rendered in normal style. Only when typing the next character will the previous character become italic.
Created attachment 274931 [details] Eclipse configuration
The issue occurs on 4.8, but I cannot reproduce it with today's I-build. Version: 4.9 Build id: I20180712-2000 OS: Linux, v.4.17.3-200.fc28.x86_64, x86_64 / gtk 3.22.30 Emond, can you try with a 4.9 I-build?
I can confirm that a 4.9 build does not have the same issue.
The "h" in the screenshot is also black, not blue. I think this is a duplicate of bug 536234.
Looking at bug 536234, I think you are right, which also explains why it does not occur on 4.9.
