Some operations are not accepted during changeValue() and newValue() event, so you have better to do them later on. The technique is to post an action to execute when everything has calmed down a little. I did it this way.

method changeValue(var eventInfo ValueEvent)
dodefault
IF self.value = "GO"   then
    self.postAction(UserAction)
ENDIF
endMethod


method action(var eventInfo ActionEvent)
if eventInfo.id()=UserAction then
    self.action(EditEnterFieldView)
    self.action(SelectSelectAll)
    self.Font.Color = Red
    disableDefault ; prevent userAction from bubbling
endif
endMethod

Code is not guaranteed to change the font.color property of the current text, though., but it does not trigger the error.

For some reason, changing Font.Size does not trigger the error, even when done directly in the changeValue() event.
