See the previous regression, bug 776369, which may be related.

Line 68: final FontSizePreference fontSizePref = (FontSizePreference) mPreferenceScreen.findPreference(FONT_SIZE_PREF_KEY);

mPreferenceScreen must be null. It's value is set in onWindowFocusChanged() which means onConfigurationChanged() (where line 68 is) must be called before onWindowFocusChanged() for this error to occur. I don't know how to repo this though.

I have been unable to repo and this crash has only been reported once, on Aug. 1 (approximately three weeks ago). As such I am marking this WFM.
