  3) What you expected to happen

  Xorg never crashes due to segfaults.

  4) What happened instead

  Xorg crashes due to segfaults.

  I have recently seen an increase in unexpected X crashes while using
  my machine, sending me back to the login screen and losing the state
  of my open applications.

  I use a ThinkPad T540p with Intel graphics and Ubuntu 15.10 (upgraded
  from 15.04). I use Xrandr to configure and position my external and
  internal displays, including the use of the --panning/--scale/--dpi
  options to help my external display behave more like my internal HiDPI
  display (in case that's relevant to this problem).

  I heavily use PhpStorm, a JetBrains IDE from their IDEA family built
  in Java. The last two times this crash has happened to me (Friday and
  today), I was interacting with the IDE at the time. I saved a copy of
  Xorg.0.log.old both times and will attempt to attach both to this
  report (their backtraces differ a bit). During the first crash I
  believe I was simply interacting with the UI in some way; During the
  second crash, I had just clicked the window decoration's "X" button to
  close PhpStorm.

  Please let me know if there's something I can do to help diagnose the
  crash further. In the meantime, I've installed the -dbg packages for
  xorg-core and xorg-video-intel in the hopes that future backtraces
  might be more useful. If I see this crash again, I'll post the log
  here in the comments.
