Just recently my InDesign 2.0.2 installation (on Windows 2000)
has begun to show a peculiar behavior when adding a new Color,
causing it to crash.
For some reason, adding a new Color via the Colors-object causes
InDesign to create a copy of the Registration-Swatch as the newly
added Color. This new Color has the name 'Registration copy' and
its colorModel is set to 'Registration'.
When I set the new Color's colorModel to 'Spot' and subsequently
attempt to modify its colorValue, InDesign crashes. (this happens
with any colorSpace)

The behavior seems to indicate that from InDesigns point of view,
I'm attempting to modify the Registration-Swatch, and it doesn't
handle that too well.

I'm trying to figure out what brought this behavior about because
I have had no problem in the past performing the exact same 
actions. While I'm not certain if adding a new Color used to
create a copy of the Registration-Color, I know that the
aforementioned sequence of steps used to work fine. Maybe I
somehow screwed up my default InDesign settings?

For now I'm using the following workaround :
before modifying a newly added color's colorValue, I switch
its colorModel to 'Process', and then to 'Spot', after which
the newly added color is fully modifiable.
