When I use code-completion to fill in a function, the arguments to that
function appear outlined, i.e. there is a box around the argument name.
The problem is that this outline hides the underscore character, "_",
making it indistinguishable from space.
I've looked through the preferences, hoping to find a way to disable or
change this feature, but found nothing.

Which goes against the Sun code standards recommendation and every other
coding convention/policy I've ever seen in 10 years. Code structured
like that is seriously non-standard, even if the standard is de facto.

Um, not in Java they don't. + and == are operators, _ is just another
character like t or J.

Eclipse strives to be as flexible and configurable as possible in order
to accommodate nearly every programmer. If you file a feature request it
should receive as much attention as any other one. I encourage you to do
so at htpt://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs
However, you're not going to make any friends in the Eclipse community
by referring to the tool as "defective," especially when you're talking
about a cosmetic item and using a completely non-standard code
convention that you are not willing to adjust.
Just some friendly advice,
Eric
