Description Brock Janiczak CLA 2006-09-25 20:16:48 EDT
Version: 3.3.0
Build id: I20060922-0010

When colour and font decorators are turned on for CVS, the project explorer flashes when saving a file.

1. Turn on colour and font decoration
2. Set the background to any colour other than white
3. Set the font to be bold
4. Open a package that contains several files
5. Edit and save one file
6. Observe: the file will become correctly decorated
7. Edit and save another file in the package
8. Observe: The decorator for the first file will disappear and then reappear, causing a flickering effect.  The text decorators do not exhibit this flashing behaviour.

Even opening a file in the project exporer is enough to cause the flashing.  The package explorer doesn't flash as much, but if you have deep decoration turned on, parent folders will flash when a child file is saved.

It looks like this was a recent regression.  It seems to have worked correctly in 3.3M1.

Oleg is now responsible for watching the [Decorators] category.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

Can still reproduce in Eclipse 4.15 with Git projects.
