This affects me too. Oddly, if I swap to using gnome-shell instead of
Unity this fixes this problem.
For the moment I've changed to using gnome-shell since this happens too
frequently.
This problem started occurring for me with the last round of trusty
updates using the utopic HWE -
apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel
xserver-xorg-video-intel:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 2:2.99.910-0ubuntu1.6
Version table:
