I've recently got the same error, and reviewed your data and it looks clean of any private data (lots of system info of course as expected) so I'm making this bug public.

At times (it's not constant) I experience serious problems with Compiz on my desktop machine with an Nvidia GTX 1070. Problems including Compiz crashing, or mouse clicks not registering.
