Since the upgrade of xorg-server from 1.18.1-3 to anything newer I'm experiencing hangs in LibreOffice in KDE/Plasma 5 whenever LibreOffice opens a popup dialog (e.g. CSV import settings, editing a text style etc.). The popup dialog is drawn incompletely, the desktop seems to freeze for a couple of seconds. Often Plasma says it had to restart the graphics stack. If I press ESC the popup dialog often vanishes after a couple of seconds and I can continue using the system normally.

Note that popup _menus_ shown by LibreOffice aren't affected, only full dialogs.

journalctl reports "GPU hang" (see attached journal log file).

Sometimes the X server even crashes completely.

This happens with xorg-server 1.18.2-4 and the current 1.18.3-1. The problem vanishes as soon as I downgrade xorg-server-* back to 1.18.1-3.

The hang happens regardless of the kernel version used: I had hangs on the old LTS (4.1.x), the current LTS (4.4.7-1) and the current normal one (4.5-1).

LibreOffice is at 5.0.5.

This whole thing sounds similar to  FS#48549  but it isn't solved by the either the patches present in 1.18.2-4 nor by 1.18.3-1. Therefore I consider this to be a separate issue.

Steps to reproduce:

- Install KDE/Plasma 5 & LibreOffice on a computer with a i915
- Start Plasma, start LibreOffice
- Open a dialog in LibreOffice, e.g. by pressing F11, then right-clicking on a style and chosing "edit" from the popup menu. Observe hang.
This task depends upon
