If you use the Format Painter button to pick up the formatting from some text in a text frame and apply it to other text in the same text frame, and if the text frame has a BorderArt design applied to it, you will receive the following error message when you try to save the publication:

This program has performed an illegal operation and will be  shut down.

If you click Details, you will see a message similar to:
