and went to Power, and the problem DOES persist within the right window when I scroll up and down with multi-touch. I now went back and quit System Profiler, then reopened it. ![]() Opening a new Word 04 for Mac window does NOT seem to cause the issue. Opening a 'View Source' new window does NOT seem to cause the issue. Opening/editing a new Pages doc does NOT seem to cause the issue. Nor does scrolling through the Sonos Controller music list. ![]() ICal window does not seem to be affected, even when opening new. I opened System Profiler, and it occurred within the right-side window as I scrolled through the info on Power. I closed the window, and then opened the same page within a new tab in a safari window where the glitch is NOT occurring and the problem does NOT recur in the new page tab window.īut the problem is not limited to Safari. I clicked a link within Safari and it spawned a new window where this the glitch resurfaced. Interestingly, it only seems to occur in newly spawned windows. I have not instituted the 'graphic' fix yet. Ok, so the problem still occurs even after activating the 'deep sleep' fix. My wife has noted (the machine affected being hers) when she hooks up to the external dispaly (Apple 23" HD) the safari screen scrawling stops, but happens again on the laptop screen when she disconnects. But can anyone verify perhaps it can point Apple in the right direction if they know what other display issues are affected. However after Replacing the system with a clean install off the Leopard disk (10.5.0) Starcraft ran fine. On this particular Machine it Crashes before it attempts to switch res. Usually I can just drag my Starcraft folder from one computer to the next and it runs just fine. I have been trying to get Starcraft to run on this computer. To anyone out there using the MacBook Pro Having this issue AND owns a copy of Starcraft I remain confident that despite how tight-lipped Apple has been about this wide-spread defect, that they will do what's right for the affected users. Rest assured that Steve Jobs isn't happy about this. Apple will most likely need to replace logic boards for thousands of users - and that is a process that may be difficult to set up. That would tend to indicate it ISN'T just a software issue. I have never seen Apple so tight-lipped about a wide-spread defect like this. ![]() But if this bug IS related to a defective GPU, then any software fix will never restore the amazing graphics performance we've all come to expect from the Leopard Graphics Update. No doubt Apple can reduce, delay or perhaps inhibit the defect, probably by limiting Quartz Extreme. But there may be other triggers for the defect yet undocumented. Setting to "Quick" sleep mode helps for many, many users. There IS a connection with putting the MacBook Pro into "Safe" sleep mode. The bug WILL disappear - along with your graphics performance. You can see this by using Quartz Debug to turn off Quartz Extreme. This speeds up graphics operations, especially with compositing windows - dramatically. Isn't it perfectly clear? YES - the Leopard Graphics update ENABLED the extensive use of the GPU to support Quartz Extreme. We all seem to be have been using the same graphics To the now-infamous Leopard Graphics Update, and The issue, by record, on this thread, did exist prior
