New Safari Issue Rendering Images (April 2023)

Thanks. I have reason to believe the problem appears to be endemic to specific hardware, and the Mini in particular. If the "lazy image loading" option does not fix it then I have no additional suggestions at present, other than to contact Apple Support using the link near the bottom left of these pages. It may be something only Apple can fix.

I have seen this as well across multiple devices, all within the last 30 days, mostly to Safari browser 16. Lazy Image Loading setting enabled/disabled does correct this behavior, nor does clearing cache or history. Doesn't affect affect other browsers, just safari.

Dear colleagues,

I have installed version 16.5 (17615.2.9.11.6, 17615). The latest version. And I still have this problem.

On my iMac macOS Monterey 12.6.6 (21G646).

I think it could also be a virus. Because after I deleted the volume and reinstalled Monterey, Safari works for a short time. After Safari was synced (bookmarks iCloud), the virus could also be on the bookmarks. Just an idea

We all need to fill in the feedback form. This is ridiculous. The more people fill in the form and describe the same bug the more likely an engineer at Apple will look at it. Make sure you make screenshots of those scrambled images.

Sorry to hear about that. I hope you can keep using the older Mac by using chrome or Microsoft Edge.

the same problem here, after upgrade to 13.3.1

iMac, Retina4K, 21.5 inch 2019

Processor: 3,2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7

Videocard: Radeon Pro Vega 20 4 GB

Memory: 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4

macOS: 13.3.1 (22E261)

Same issue here, on a 15" MacBook Pro (late 2016, Radeon Pro 460 graphics).

The issue pops up sporadically, but is disturbing everytime :)

MacBookPro13,3

Safari version 16.4.1 (17615.1.26.101.10, 17615)

macOS Monterey 12.6.5

I have noticed this in Safari, but also in Adobe InDesign running OS 12.6.7 (Late 2015 iMac)

• Turned off GPU Performance in InDesign Preferences to fix it there.

I think it may be a larger glitch/issue that might be messing with several apps at the same time.

Did exactly this. Unfortunately not fixing the problem.

• default display settings: no fix
• disable lazy loading: no fix
• disable extensions: no fix
• dns changes: no fix (why should this even work?)

Curious to know if anyone with MacOS Ventura experiences this problem.

Safari 16.5.2 (17615.2.9.101.1, 17615)

MacOS Monterey 12.6.7

MBP 16” 2021

M1 Pro

Has been ongoing for months, makes Safari highly unusable. I'm on the latest Monterey 12.6.8 and the latest Safari update 16.6 (17615.3.12.11.3, 17615) on an M1 MacBook Pro Max topped off and I'm still getting these scrambled images. Does not happen in other more competent browsers.

My updated copy of Monterey on a 2016 MacBook Pro which included the update for Safari seems OK now. I've waited a couple of days and have not observed the issue so far. Fingers crossed! It has never happened on my M1 Mac Mini.

Same. I try to avoid Apple Safari since there is not a solution for this matter.

Some of us at least have let them know our concerns - in great detail - and still no solutions. My personal hunch is some connection to the Intel machines as I see little comment from Apple Silicon users. Alternatively, it's GPU related as the distortion of images is reminiscent of such problems in the past.

Someone, somewhere has just kicked the can down the road which is very disappointing.

It would be disappointing if this isn't resolved. The last point update of a MacOS version is usually solid. If Big Sur ends with 11.7.9 and this graphics issue in Safari is not resolved, that would mean lots of old Intel Macs will run the web with this issue popping up. I already have problems with this point update running hot on my MacBook Air when running YouTube. Many versions back, Big Sur was better and ran pretty cool.

I was hoping todays Monterey update to 12.7 and safari update to 16.6.1 would finally resolve the issues. But no, absolutely nothing has changed. I wonder if folks with an "apple chip M1/M2" MacBook running MacOS Ventura have the same problems. I have a feeling this is localized to MacBooks with intel chips, that can only run MacOS Monterey. If any M1/M2 chip users with MacOS Ventura, have the same problem kindly let us know.
