I think this is the saved reports bug. Someone accidently saved a 
report, which is a known bug and causes crashes. There is a fix that 
somone will surely pipe up with shortly here.

you have selected payment terms for the invoice. this prevents you from 
manually setting the due date. open the invoice, unpost it, click on 
"Edit" button and then change the terms to "None". this will allow you 
to manually set the due date for that invoice.

When you enter invoices in the future, make sure you enter "None" for 
terms if you want to manually edit it, or select the terms that fit your 
needs.
