Find/replace overlay: cannot see underscores on Linux
When I use the find-replace overlay and input a string with underscores, I cannot see them:
This is with:
Eclipse SDK
Version: 2025-06 (4.36)
Build id: I20250414-1800
Screenshot is with Adwaita, I see the problem also with Breeze. I'm on RHEL 9.2 with KDE 5.27, if that makes a difference.
Probably should be added to the list of medium issues in: https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui/issues/2021
Unless I'm doing something wrong? I'm using a new workspace and Adwaita to check if the issue exists, to my knowledge those settings are as default as possible.
I've added the issue with medium priority to the umbrella issue.
I tried to reproduce the issue via WSL, but there it looks as intended (on both X11 and Wayland):
Still your setup sounds rather default, so I would expect to see the same behavior as you do on a native Linux system. Maybe someone with a Linux system at hand can confirm. Otherwise I will have a look once I have my Linux laptop at hand again.
This is how it looks on Fedora 42 with Adwaita:
So this seems to have been fixed with newer versions, maybe even newer RHEL 9.x.
I can't reproduce it with 4.35 (RHEL 9.2), so it must be some regression in 4.36.
Note: if one resizes editor area after entering text in the overlay search, underscore is shown.

That's interesting. Then the regression must come from somewhere else than the find/replace overlay itself, as that one was not changed during 4.36 development (https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui/blob/master/bundles/org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor/src/org/eclipse/ui/internal/findandreplace/overlay/FindReplaceOverlay.java).

I've double checked, in fact that was already on 4.35 - my previous test was using remote RHEL 7.9 window where everything was still OK.
