Hi Yang, thanks for the note, and sorry for the trouble!
I made some improvements to the Fill tool in the previous
version (0.9.26), when I was working on some new features
that the Fill tool offers -- linear & radial gradients.
(And 0.9.27 will add a freehand fill option, as well.)

I recall addressing some crash behavior, when dealing
with complex shapes, and I just tested with the current
'master' version from the Git source code repository
(in other words, what will become version 0.9.27), and
was able to easily fill the solid black of the template
example you provided.

So I think you should try upgrading to version 0.9.26.
If that version still causes difficulty, please let us know
and we'll investigate further!

Thanks again,
