Description R. Lemos CLA 2009-05-30 16:06:06 EDT 
Build ID: M20090211-1700

Steps To Reproduce:
1. configure eclipse console colors other than the default GTK colors;
2. restart eclipse (note that configuration *is* correctly saved and restored);
3. do anything to trigger console pop-up (e.g. running a java program).


More information:

The console view appears with default GTK color settings.
Configuring it again corrects everything until another restart.

This bug may be not a really important one, since everything works. But it is an annoying nuisance.

This is a major bug for people who use inverted colors: they won't see any text because foreground and background are white.

Steps from comment 0 don't suffice. The key here is to make sure that the Console is closed before exiting Eclipse. Only the first run of a program when the Console is opened shows the bug. Subsequent runs use the correct colors.

Thanks Dani Megert for the solution.

I followed the steps you mentioned and it did work for me.
