Explorer shows all files gray except one [message #902167]

Hello, I am new to the forum, but I use eclipse for a few years now.
I hope this is the right place to ask this, if not, please forgive me Confused

Anyway, here is my problem.
I've been upgrading my Eclipse yesterday, now I use the recent version, 4.2.0 Juno
It worked fine yesterday and even today...
But now something strange happened..
As you see in this picture

my Eclipse makes all folders in my Eclipse-Explorer gray.
However, one single file is still black, yet bold.
Why is that?
I don't know what that means, but I found out that when I switch to another file by using CTRL+left-mouse-click on a method, it closes an open window when I have more than 3 open windows at the same time.
Maybe that has nothing to do with it, I don't know...
Can someone help me with that problem, or tell me what it means that all folders/files are gray?

do you have the mylyn-plugin installed?

mylyn grays out files that are not often edited, and marks files ofen used bold.

this is saved per task

Aaah yes, I think this might be it!
I tried out what these "tasks" are for, now I somehow deactivated it and all my grayed-out-files are normal again Embarrassed

Anyway, I had to downgrade my Eclipse, as I experienced some heavy loading-problems with it.
I read about it, some other users seems to have that problem as well...
Hopefully it will be solved soon.
But that is a different topic.

Thank you for your help!
