Window border graphic distortion

Hi, I just got my new Mac mini (Intel Core Duo) but geep getting graphic distortions on my window borders.

Everything is ok after startup but e.g. after using Front Row the space surrounding a window (where the window shadow usually is) is distorted. Front Row seem to be one trigger for this problem but I have also seen it after using other programs.

Has anyone seen this. Is there a fix besides sending it back to Apple?

Has anyone installed the 10.4.7 update yet? Has the update fixed the issue? I haven't had a chance to install it yet to test it ...

I checked the Bug Report that I raised, but it is still open ... so I am guessing that this hasn't been addressed yet.

Post your updates!

I've updated to 10.4.7, and so far, no sign of the distortion. I'm not going to hold my breath waiting, though. If it comes back, I'll report it, but so far it looks good.

I used to see this problem every day. Since 10.4.7 I have never seen it again.

All,

I have not posted back to this thread for some time as I have been monitoring my mini since it's update to 10.4.7. I can confirm that I have not had a repeat of the issue since it's update. Note that if people are experiencing these issues with the 10.4.7 update, that they should re-apply the update that can be downloaded from the following:

http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1047intel.html

The reason for this re-application is that the initial build of the Update missed some OpenGL changes. Subsequently, early updaters will not have the most recent build of 10.4.7 (your build number should have an "a" at the end for the most recent build). To view your build, select "About this Mac" from the menu, and click on the 10.4.7 which will cycle through some items (like serial number, etc). When you see your Build Number, it should have an "a" at the end.

Will post back if there are any issues arising, but I believe this to now be resolved.

Regards,

Adrian.
