safari rendering issues

I have been getting some strange rendering issues since upgrading to OSX Mountain Lion/Safari 6. They seem to be fairly random, and happen accross multiple sites, even "big sites" like YouTube. I will get "artifacts" left behind, and I'm even getting them now as I'm typing this message with the text. Because is seems to be so "random" I have no idea what's causing it, but, it's very distracting and obnoxious when the artifacts interfere with navigation. Is anyone else experiencing these problems?

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.6), iPod Touch 32GB (4th Gen)

Add me to the list of those experienceing rendering issues. Confirmed once I saw the screenshots that others posted. I'm running a brand new 15" rMBP, Safari 6.0.1, OSX 10.8.2. Something tells me we aren't going to see a fix for this anytime soon...


I don't believe I've experienced the issue in Chrome. Le sigh...Safari was just starting to look attractive, too.

The problem seems to reside in the use of the integrated graphic card. If I start VirtualBox (which switch my laptop to use the Nvidia card), the problem goes away.


This seems to be the case for many people on different forums. As I usually have VirtualBox opened, this bug doesn't cause me a big problem.


But when I surf on battery while taking a coffee (so no VirtualBox), this issue always happen.
