Blurry/Scrambled Finder text & buttons
Here's a screenshot of my issue that's been going on for 2 years now (copy-past this URL into another window):

This has happened on two different MacBook Pros. I've done everything from a full-wipe & clean install. Had the hardware tested at the Apple Store. Tried various GPU settings (Better Performance vs. Engery Saving in Preferences)... you name it, this still keeps happening.
It doesn't happen all the time and there's absolutely no ryhme or reason as to what causes it. Thought it might be due to heating (like when Final Cut does a render) but sometimes it starts up even after being idle for a while.
Logging out or forcing any kind of full-screen refresh clears the issue, but eventually it will come back.
The Genius Bar suggests this is a FONT issue caused by an application that's been loaded. Problem is, I can't figure out a way to suss out which application could be the culprit. And I'm not 100% buying into that explanation since all apps I have are specifically written for Snow Leopard - or higher.
Anyone seen this problem and have a solution?
