Bug#704987: xserver-xorg-video-intel: scrolling in libreoffice-writer freezes system

[colliar]

Hi

I had access to gather the information and it seem to be a problem with
the xserver-xorg-video-intel package. For scrolling I use the touchpad
and the file needs some context and some pages.

Find the files and some more info attached.

Yeah, I had / still have some minor problems with this driver even on
older intel chips.

Good guess, but I had not enough access time to test.
