[SOLVED] Chrome segfaults when exiting fullscreen mode and crashes X11

I have a strange error on my Thinkpad X250. Sometimes when I exit the fullscreen mode of google-chrome for example when done with a youtube video, my chrome crashes and takes X11 with it. After that I land on the login screen. I can't reproduce it but it happens like once or twice a day. I haven't tested chromium or firefox yet. Using only google-chrome-stable v55.0.2883.87-1 and xorg-server 1.18.4-1.

in dmesg I see:

[31515.372076] chrome[8496]: segfault at 968 ip 00007fe8ba4bd3a3 sp 00007ffe89de0e60 error 4 in libX11.so.6.3.0[7fe8ba490000+139000]

I see no errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

This is very annoying. Does anyone have a clue what could cause this? Maybe Intel graphics driver?

I am also seeing this on the Thinkpad T460.

[576685.443127] chrome[26448]: segfault at 968 ip 00007f1e8a13e3a3 sp 00007ffdcffb8680 error 4 in libX11.so.6.3.0[7f1e8a111000+139000]

Running chrome google-chrome-stable 53.0.2785.101. For me it happens a bit less frequently, maybe twice in the past few months, but I don't often watch fullscreen youtube videos.
