Bug Description

[Impact]

Unity might crash on systems with touch screen or multi-gesture supporting touchpads.

[Test case]

The crash is pretty random, it happens in some cases where unity is locked and after a suspension. Without having to touch any input.

[Regression Potential]

Regression potential: fix is very safe. We're just removing asserts in code, returning safe values and printing errors instead.

Not sure if the cause is running autopilot tests.

As part of the big bug clear up for 16.04 LTS I am marking this bug as Wont Fix.
These types of crasher are better handled by errors.ubutnu.com which can collate similar crash reports to help us identify persitent bugs rather than one-off crashes.
Sorry we are not able to help with this specific issue. If you are still experiencing this crash, please re-open the bug and add the tag "desktop-bugscrub-reopened". See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BigDesktopBugScrub for more information.

This can't be easily verified, but there are no regressions or crashes.

So I'm marking it as verified.
