I'm sorry, but even after doing many additional tests I can't reproduce the
crash; for me, changing background color to "No fill" and font color to
"Automatic" always work as expected. 

But I have found some bug reports which are very similar, especially bug 44471
-- "FORMATTING: Changing character background color causes HANG". This and some
similar reports (see bug 47368 and its many duplicates) are caused by the fact
that in MacOS X "System Preferences", section "Universal Access", the option
"Enable access for assistance devices" was checked (this is the first checkbox
at the bottom of the "Universal Access" preference pane).

Similar crashes can also happen if other options in "Universal Access" are
activated, e.g. "Voice over", or if some special MacOS user interface utilities
are installed, namely
* Moom  (see bug 42014)
* Cinch (see bug 51791)
and maybe other utilities which provide windows snapping, zooming in and out of
windows, etc. on MacOS X.

> No accessibility features enabled that I'm aware of.

Therefore I want to ask you again (sorry!) if you are really sure that no
accessibility features are activated on your Mac -- please check again in
"System Preferences", section "Universal Access"! Sometimes it happens that
users just forget about such settings or that these settings are activated by
3rd-party software without notifying the user at all.

If this is not the case, please check if you have any special system utilities
installed like Moom or Cinch or other utilities or apps which interact with the
general handling of windows or with the user interface or appearance of MacOS X
and its applications.

Sorry for asking you again, but this is really important ... Thank you in
advance for your patience and answer!
