Hello

The setting "Color and Font theme" in Preferences->General->Appearance does net restore to the default setting after changing it and pressing the Button "Restore Defaults". I would expect that "Restore Defaults" would reset all settings on this page to the default values.


Actions to reproduce:
[A1] Go to Preferences->General->Appearance
[A2] Change the setting "Color and Font theme" (e.g. from Default to Reduced Palette)
[A3] Press the button Apply.
[A4] Press the button OK in the popup that tells you that a restart is required.
[A5] Press the button "Restore Defaults"

What is Observed
[A1] Appearance page is displayed (OK)
[A2] Setting is changed (OK)
[A3] Popup is displayed that notifies you about the required restart. (OK)
[A4] Popup closes. (OK)
[A5] Setting for "Color and Font theme" is unchanged (NOK)

What I Expect
[E5] Setting for "Color and Font theme" changes to its default value.

Note: I tested this with and without restarts but did not see any difference.

My eclipse version:
Version: 4.11.0.v20190307-0500
Build id: I20190307-0500

Restoring all other options on the 'Appearance" page work as expected.

Retested this with 2020-06 and it is still present. Additionally what i noted was that if you don't press apply, the "restore Default" button actual restores the default settings.
