I20100309-0100 I expect that this has already been reported, but I can't find a dupe. If there isn't a dupe I can provide a screenshot and additional details, but it's easy to reproduce. Only noticed recently, but in forms editors (manifest editor, dynamic help, etc), links that get bolded/highlighted when hovering over them, remain that way after the hover ends. By waving the mouse over the links the font gets darker and bolder.
This sounds like bug 268402.
Remy, just looked at the defect you suggested and there seems to be some confusion as to where it should go (I was at least going to set them both to the same person...), any guesses? BTW, I can't seem to repro on my XP box.

BTW, I can't seem to repro on my XP box. This is (or should be) a problem with UA Forms. I've seen it on XP. It leaves a foul taste in one's mouth.
Can you list the steps required to reproduce? Also what are the display properties on your XP system, in particular the theme and font size?

This is on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic using Human-Clearlooks theme. I'm running at a resolution of 1600 x 1200 and use Gnome 2.28.1.
(In reply to comment #4) > Can you list the steps required to reproduce? Also what are the display > properties on your XP system, in particular the theme and font size? What Curtis said. Hover over them, then back, on and off, and it'll get bolder. I run XP SP3 with the uh...XP blue theme (or whatever the "default" is called, not win2k and not silver theme). Font size I haven't changed at all.
I'll take a look at this for 3.6. Hopefully my taste buds will survive the experience.

I'm not seeing this (using N20100411-2000), can you attach a screenshot so I can be sure to hover over the same field where you were seeing the problem. I'm using XP SP3 with the blue theme.
Created attachment 164994 [details] Screenshot depicting the problem in question. 'Overview' tab of a PDE editor on a MANIFEST.MF file.
Created attachment 164995 [details] Screenshot showing problem On the extensions tab of the PDE editor for org.eclipse.pde.core (though it happens with all the PDE forms editors). I don't see the problem with the Mylyn task editor. In the screenshot one link hasn't been moused over, one link has been moused over once, the last link has been moused over lots of times. Switching editors clears the bolding.
OK I can see it now, I'll investigate.
Created attachment 165143 [details] Patch That was hard to track down, it was a regression caused by the fix to Bug 290450. I had renamed a protected method which was overridden in a subclass. Note that the link is the same color as it was before the hover, it was just in a heavier version of the font.
Patch committed to HEAD.
