I also suffer from this exact bug, as several other users do and have
reported in a number of other bugs such as:

bug #1509846 
bug #1511615 
bug #1511704
bug #1511512
bug #1511476
bug #1510998
bug #1511343
bug #1511145
bug #1509622
bug #1509355
bug #1506321
etc. 

Common patterns are:
- Intel graphic cards
- Ubuntu 15.10
- Unity desktop environment
- Xorg crashes while opening a window or menu within applications such as thunderbird/libreoffice/etc.

It's just a matter of time before you will be asked to update your bios,
the bug will be marked invalid, and Ubuntu 15.10 will be another
successful milestone for Microsoft Windows. Cheers.

Meanwhile, you can reduce the occurrence of this bug by disabling window
animations in Compiz. Use compizconfig-settings-manager for this tweak
(sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager). You can also use
desktop environments such as XFCE and LXDE which do not use compiz.
