Created attachment 280047 [details] The options that keep enabling again after restart Disabling syntax coloring on Type Arguments and Type Variables is not persisted. After restarting the bench it is enabled again. In Preferences search Syntax and click on Java > Editor > Syntax coloring. Then on the right pane, in Java you can find Type Arguments and Type variables. They have the enabled checkbox that keeps on checking again when restarting. Maybe some other values are reset as well cf screenshot
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
I am having this exact problem on Eclipse Version 4.23.0, running on Windows 10. My custom Syntax coloring for the Java editor lets me distinguish at a glance between abstract classes, interfaces, and non-abstract classes. Ever since I upgraded to the latest version of eclipse, presumably due to this bug, Type argument coloring is being re-enabled after every restart, and it overrides those useful coloring rules. I have to manually disable it after every restart.
