Public bug reported: When I'm browsing online, I unconsciously highlight and deselect random text on the page. Sometime when I drag the text briefly X will crash. The crash consistently occurs at the moment the text-drag starts or right after.
I've tried to reproduce the bug intentionally but can't, but I consistently get X crashes every 5 hours or so of surfing online. I use Chromium as my browser if it's relevant. The Xorg.0.log.old has some details about a segfault at the end, I'm pretty sure that lines up with the crash.
