Anybody some ideas about it? Is there a fix from apple? I installed Mountain Lion (clear install with second HD, boot from second HD and download ML, format intern HD and start Install from ML, choose intern HD, after Install just switch the second HD off) now seven times and always there are these glitches...



Best Regards,

Hello


Do you mean this is normal, or a "new feature" in Mountain Lion? I did not see it in Lion. By the way, it is not when I zero in on a specfic spot that it "grows fatter", it's like normal scrolling, when I start scrolling in a column with long list, the scroll bars will appear right? And they appear much much "fatter"! When I move to another column or let the scroll bars disappear for a while and then scroll again to let them show again, they appears as normal...


So I think that may be a cosmetic graphic UI issue... I'll try and take a screen shot, but because it happens so fast and split second, it is hard


Cheers

okay, sounds, that not only me is infected with that kind of problem...


Intel HD Graphics 3000 (512 MB) and AMD Radeon HD 6770M (1GB) are my Graphic Cards...


And its definately a GPU driver Problem...

How long it will take, until apple fix this? How long till 10.8.1?


In Safari i dont have these glitches, but if i am typing in any textfield, i cant see my text sometimes... problems like that, so there must be a bug too.

Good Idea!

as if they didnt download correctly, glad this is a common issue, thought I might be sending it in for a warranty claim.

I did not think about that option... i have warranty 😀


But if you get the same hardware and it must be a GPU problem, you will have the same problems after changing it... wont you?

Seems, that we have nearly the same hardware...

Yeah, i didn't get that, because there are many bugs i found out with just one klick...

I thought, they have beta versions to fix these bugs...



@Toni Ramírez


Welcome, you are not alone...



Anyone else with this problems? Any solutions? I sent an email to Apple and the man at the phone will resend it to the american apple ingenieurs, hope, that they fix it soon... as i get some helpful hints or informations, i'll post it here...

I did a clean install of ML just a few days ago and straight away I got:


- Graphical glitches in Mail

- Adobe Photoshop also has some strange GUI glitches (but this might just be a Photoshop problem)

- Preview sluggish when not in fullscreen mode

- The whole screen sometimes looses contrast when switching from Intel to AMD (e.g. when opening iPhoto)

- Desktop background keeps reverting back original

- Whole system has randomly crashed twice


I suppose that's what you get for installing v1.0 of a new OS. Apart from the above, everything feels very 'snappy' and fast.
