I-20040224

Go to the Java > Editor > Syntax preference page.
Change the keyword color to red.  Press Ok.  At this point, we use to see the 
preview update.  Not on this build (problem #1).

Press Ok, and close the pref dialog.
The java editor that was already open did not update.  I had to close it and 
reopen it for the colors to take effect (problem #2)

Christof, probably the chained pref store.

This is not working for me on 
Version: 3.2.0
Build id: I20051215-1506

I use GTK on Debian Linux. I change the current line highlight color, press Apply and nothing happens. I have to re-open the editor. No errors in the log.
