Thank you very much for your bug report!

However, changing the "cell thickness edge" or the background color of a cell
does not crash Calc on most machines with MacOS X -- I can confirm this, both
actions always work fine on my machine. Therefore, there must be a difference
(why do these actions crash Calc for you, but not for me?), and we need to find
out about this difference.

Now there have been some previous reports about Calc crashing when changing
cell border width or background color, but in all these cases the user had
enabled MacOS accesibility features or related utilities.

Therefore, two very important questions:

1) Do you have any accesibility features enabled? Apple’s accessibility
features like "VoiceOver" or "Enable access for assistive devices", which get
enabled in "System Preferences > Universal Access" (in German:
"Bedienungshilfen"; dont’t know about other languages), are known to cause many
crashes in LibreOffice (see bug 47368). So please try to disable any
accesibility features, i.e. uncheck "VoiceOver", "Enable access for assistive
devices", etc.

2) Do you have installed any window management/user interface utilities/apps
for MacOS X like 
* Moom           (see bug 42014)
* Cinch          (see bug 51791)
* RightZoom      (see bug 51686)
* ShiftIt        (see bug 52147)
* BetterSnapTool (see bug 53240)?
All these and many similar utilities rely heavily on accessibility issues and
therefore cause LibreOffice to crash. So please check if you have installed any
utility of this kind and try to disable it (or to add LibreOffice to the list
of excluded applications for the utility, if there is such a thing).

Disabling both all of Apple’s accessibility features and all
accessibility-related/window management utilities, and then re-starting your
Mac could fix the LibreOffice crash. Please try this.

Thank you very much for trying this out (and please report the results here,
too)!
