I have the same Problem here on an Acer Aspire B117. Since both machines (Lenovo and Acer) are based on Braswell, I think, it could be related to the inteldrm on Braswell.
I could not trigger this problem if I use wsfb in xorg.conf. Also this Box runs perfect, if i only use my "normal" small console applications (vim, w3m, mutt, newsbeuter, ledger and such).
