Higlighting letters of selected entry in a table? [message #857295]

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=213949 shows a screenshot of the java completion engine in Eclipse. It highlights some characters in a proposal in dependence of the completion prefix (the blue letters for example in proposal #2).

Proposal #1 actually has the same highlighting as proposal #2 but these are not rendered properly since the first entry has the active selection.

My question: Can a *selected* table item have highlights? If so, how?

Thanks, Marcel

In the screenshot the "highlighted" text just looks like it's drawn with
a different foreground colour, which should not be affected by the item
being selected or not. The snippet at
http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.swt.git/tree/examples/org.eclipse.swt.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet236.java
draws text with several colours, and is not affected by item selection
(verified on Windows and GTK). Is this what you're looking for?
