I tested the latest master build (LOdev 3.7.0.0.alpha0+, Build ID: c549e1e,
installation file:
master~2012-07-25_02.21.07_LibO-Dev_3.7.0.0.alpha0_MacOS_x86_install_en-US.dmg)
with US English langpack installed.

I did not want at all to dispute which patch did the job. But it is interesting
that from all the ways to make LibreOffice crash which I have listed in comment
#57, only no. (4) seems no longer reproducible. The ways (5) to (9), which all
produce crash logs similar to Norbert’s one (comment #45), and towards which
Michael’s patch seems to be directed (because they all involve
VclEventListeners::Call() in the topmost stack-frames), are all still
reproducible for me with the current master build. This is why I was under the
impression that not Michael’s fix, but some change in the color selector code
did the job -- because even cell/paragraph background color selection is fixed
only when done via the color pulldown palettes (case (4)), but still causes
crashes when done via menu and Cell/Paragraph properties window (case (5)/(6)).

But I don’t want to dispute ;-) I’m only a simple-minded QA volunteer. I just
want to point out that there remains much to do; besides (5) to (9), also case
(3) is still reproducible, and I can’t guarantee that (1) and (2) are really
fixed -- I can’t reproduce them, of course, but maybe this needs some special
circumstances (e.g. MacOS X 10.7.x, or running another window management
utility, etc.).

Please do so. Then we can see if color selection via the color pulldown
palettes will be fixed in 3.5.x, too (this would mean that Michael’s patch did
the job, and it will receive all my applause then, as appropriate!), or not
(then the 3.6 changes in the code for the color pulldown palettes would be the
reason).
