Description Alan Boxall CLA 2003-06-05 17:05:39 EDT 
I created a preference page by extending FieldEditorPreferencePage and then 
created a ColorFieldEditor.

If I change the ColorFieldEditor and press apply the PropertyChangeEvent 
contains SWT RGB objects in both the old and new value fields of the event.

BUT, if I press the "Restore defaults" button and then press "Apply" the 
PropertyChangeEvent event contains String representations of the old and new 
values.

This also happens if I use the BooleanFieldEditor where instead of Boolean 
objects I get Strings with "true" or "false" in the event.

This should consistently pass the correct objects (Boolean or RGB) not strings.
