I don't see how this could ever happen. Do you have steps or a workspace that you can share, so we can reproduce the issue?
I don't have any steps. I restarted and the problem fixed itself.
Please reopen if you see this again, or have steps.

any chance to get this one fixed in 4.2?
(In reply to comment #5) > any chance to get this one fixed in 4.2? There are no further 4.2.x releases. The fix is in 4.3 M7 [1] and will be in the Kepler release. [1] http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/S-4.3M7-201305020800/
