Weird Screen/graphics glitch after update

That is horrible! I would revert to OS X 10.5.1. I had an issue with the brightness and now going back to 10.5.1 has resolved it.

This appears to be isolated to Safari. I would start troubleshooting by resetting Safari, or reinstalling it.

Occasionally I see these things and attribute them to Safari incompatibilities with certain non compatible Safari websites. However, your examples are Apple websites. I peaked at one of the windows behind this website and it appears that they are ok.

Load up Foxfire and see if the same things appear. If not, then you may have to download 10.5.2 Combo update and run it from your desktop. You might want to do that anyway. Also, run repair permissions.

Hi, I have exactly the same problem! Is there any news how to fix this?
Tried to install 10.5.2 with the combo-installer but still there.

I'm having the exact same issue on my 2.6GHz MBP, except that it's happening in Mail, as well, and not just due to html rendering. This only happened after the 10.5.2 and the graphics update. I just recently had to shut down my system after the screen went black. I was getting artifacts all over the screen, including the desktop and browser window, with a multi-colored line that went horizontally across the display consisting of one row of pixels and located about an inch and a half below the top of the display. I have only one piece of "skankware" installed and that's Inquisitor for Safari. I'm trying another user today, and hopefully get more info. Has anyone out there tried reinstalling the OS and it continues? If so, this may be an issue with the firmware update.

Yeah, this is a glitch existing system-wide for me, not just Safari. I've had it in Mail, too, and even in the Finder. However, I've noticed it's really a problem with Flash related sites (which is most of the web these days). Before Apple's site update there were horrible black blocks that interrupted the MBA video and the animation after it ended (switching between views of the MBA).

And I installed them separately and had no problem after updating to 10.5.2, just after installing the graphics update. It bothers me that Apple put out this update which obviously is causing problems, what, a week ago?, and has yet to help find a way to even uninstall it. Of the problems I've been having I didn't need another straight from Apple.

Apparently when my system froze earlier, and I forced rebooted this hasn't been an issue. Youtube and other flash sites look less blocky, also. I guess the system dumped whatever was the issue. I'll repost if it comes back.

same problem here .. but I only noticed it after iPhoto last update 😟

Well, seems the issue is back. Was better for a bit, but then started again in Safari and Mail.

do you have spaces enable ?
I disabled it and I do not have the problem anymore.

I have the same issue and it's not only isolated to Safari, I have it happen in mail and in the finder as well. It has something to do with scrolling. May be a rendering issue. Any help from Apple would be appreciated...
