I am running on 12.0-STABLE r342382 on my T500 with Sandy Bridge. Other
than screen size, I believe that it is identical with the T420. Are you
sure that yours is ivy Bridge? Maybe later T420schanged processors?

I just discovered that it is essential that I run with the modesetting
driver, not xf86-video-intel. Are you running modesetting? Using he older
driver triggered several issues for me.I also am running mesa 18.3.1 which
is currently under test (and will hopefully be in ports soon). You can find
the patches to 18.2.8 and then to 18.2.8  is covered in bug 230298
<https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=230298>; and 18.3.1 in bug
233034 <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=233034>. Patches
must be applied in sequence and with the -E option.

I have now been running on the system for over a day with no issues, but I
need to give it more time before I pronounce it satisfactory. I also use
Firefox, but I will give chromium a shot now and see if there is a problem.
