Try making two windows, and change the preference of one of the default
settings and just wait. Eventually the utility will crash. Not only is
the user interface confusing to users, but it apparently confuses the
operating system as well.
The ColorSync Utility has quite possibly the worst user interface to
come out of Apple, ever. I'm sure there's got to be something else, but
for the moment, this application is tops on my list of bad UI and bad
UE. If I were to give it a letter grade, I'd give it the infamous
SouthPark F-minus.
That said, I think it does some great things. I just don't like the
presentation, in particular settings (be it preferences, the
possibility of multiple windows, the selection of destination profiles
in the device tree, and the Quartz Filters UI in particular is better
designed to kill brain cells than to configure filters.
