Description

Hey, I finally managed to track down this bug i was having:

Bug: All text in Package Explorer disappears except the currently selected/highlighted item. (See Video)

Cause: Config setting USE_COLORED_LABELS=false in
\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.ui.prefs

Reproduction:
1. Set USE_COLORED_LABELS=false
2. Move Package-Explorer into its own window
3. Open a .java file
4. Make sure the .java file is highlighted/selected in Package Explorer
5. Click into the Open java file to loose focus from Package Explorer window (java-file is still highlighted)
6. Click exactly on the selected/opened java file within the Package Explorer
7. (Clicking on any other file will not cause the problem)
