This affects a TabbedPropertySheetPage's tabs on the left side.

One can specify the colors used for these in the e4 CSS styling files in the "TabbedPropertyList" section

To see this problem more clearly set the value of swt-tabNormalShadow-color in the "e4_default_win.css" file to red "#ff0000;":

TabbedPropertyList {
   swt-tabAreaBackground-color : #ffffff;
   swt-tabBackground-color     : '#org-eclipse-ui-workbench-ACTIVE_NOFOCUS_TAB_BG_START';
   swt-tabNormalShadow-color   : #ff0000;  /* RED */
   swt-tabDarkShadow-color     : '#org-eclipse-ui-workbench-ACTIVE_NOFOCUS_TAB_SELECTED_TEXT_COLOR';
   color                       : #505050; 
}

In Eclipse or an RCP app that uses tabbed properties:

1. Ensure the Properties View is closed.
2. Select a View Part or Edit Part and show the Properties View. The Tabs are coloured as expected.
3. Select another View Part or Edit Part so that it updates the Properties View. The Tabs are NOT coloured as expected
4. Put the focus on the Properties View by clicking on it. The Tabs are coloured as expected.
