There are fixes released for the issue in several packages, but mostly concerning Linux kernel in the following ticket. Please, see Timo Aaltone's post there. Affected packages OEM Priority Project, XOrg XServer and Linux kernel. The recent package fixes solve the issue also in Debian. The condition occurred with the old Linux kernel (LK < 4.10) regardless of the OS version. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1586539

, Aug 25 2016Origin of the bug: xserver-xorg-video-intel Adjustment in `/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf/20-intel.conf` when the bug does not occur in the internet browsers: # Joakim Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "sna" Option "TearFree" "true" Option "DRI" "3" Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight" EndSection The resolution is somehow related to `intel_backlight` but we do not know how. Another option is to purge the package but then you cannot make the other fixes (etc of F5/F6 keys) with the file 20-intel.conf.
