When I am running an Eclipse using the Run-time workbench launcher, the Error log view list (on the left) does not draw properly. I will attach a screenshot.

very strange! You got that using I-20030820?
Yes but it's been that way for a while. I just haven't reported it.
I won't be able to reproduce it or at least speculate what might be causing it unless I see the metadata. Could you please zip up the .metadata directory of the "runtime" workspace in question, and either attach it to this bug report or directly email it to me. In the meantime, if you launch on a new workspace, you would definitely not encounter this problem.
Metadata sent in email
This was an interesting one. Here is what was happening: Upon closing the workbench, what I do is save the widths of the columns in the log view's memento, so that the column widths can be restored upon the next eclipse launch. In the metadata that you sent me, I noticed that the column widths of all 4 columns of the log view are set to 0. After a little debugging, I realized how this could have occurred: When you closed the workbench, the log view had already been explicitly closed by you earlier in the session. So when the method saveMemento was called on the log view, all the column widths had a value of 0, and that is the value that was saved. Upons subsequent launching of the workbench, you added the log view and did not see the columns as their width was initialized to 0. When the log view gets initialized now, this case is accounted for. If the saved column width is 0, we give it a reasonable default value. Aside: the only column which we do not save its width is the first one, i.e. the column containing the +/- sign which show up for nested exceptions. That is why that was the only thing visible in your log view.
