Retina MacBook Pro Safari problems.

I've also had the problem of the reset desktop background. It's been consistent on four different rMBPs. Also, to check my desktop back, I usually have to right click desktop > change desktop background TWICE before the menu comes up. This too has been consistent across the rMBPs I've used. I get the feeling Apple doesn't even use this machine, let alone QC the thing.

I'm having the same issues in Safari on my 15" rMBP running latest OS X and fully updated. Gmail seems to be particularly bad. Usually have to switch to another app and back, or sometimes just a different tab and back for screen to rewrite.

I'm also having an issue in Safari with just loading web pages. Quite frequently, the page will start to load, the blue bar will to part way across the URL field, and it seems to hang. Usually hitting reload will prompt it to load correctly. These browsing issues are extremely frustrating when so much computer time is spent in the browser.

Yup, I have the exact same problem. Its a shame that Apple hasn't fixed it yet!

i have had this EXACT same issue.

It really is annoying and messes up my productivity.

drives me crazy. Spending soo much on a laptop and having it to this!

10.8.3 will be out any day now, and claims to make improvements on Macbook display drivers and Safari. Crossing my fingers that this addresses our issues. If the retina Macbook is the future of Apple's laptop line, they'd better get addressing this.

Having this problem exactly. My gmail looks just like this and flickers a lot while I'm typing. It's like the browser is only redrawing part of the screen. My temporary workaround is to scroll up and down until it refreshes the text and/or graphics.

Good to see it's not just me.

This has been going on since the product was released in June. It just goes to show that Apple doesn't even use their own laptop products, let alone have engineers to improve the quality of them. They are great at updating the iPhone and iPad. Meanwhile, it's been over 4 months since the Retina line was updated.

Yup, I have the exact same problem. Its a shame that Apple hasn't fixed it yet!

Same problem on retina 15, iphoto problems also.

Hey guys, looks like it can be SOLUTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It works for me so far!

try this:

go to system preferences, then click Java icon,(java will open in separate window), then click update, ( in my case ther was "important update" avalable, so I hope will be in your. After update the Java, restart computer and my problem is gone at the moment.

I doubt that's it. I'm having the same issues as everyone else and I don't have Java installed.

SOLUTION CONTINUE.....

After few hours of surfing still no problems ( it was really bad before Java update).

wha I can suggest, you can try to install Java and see if it will help ( but newest version ) for my OS X 10.8.2 updating Java to version 7 works perfectly.

Guys, In my case it was the Java, so try to upgrade it if you have installed all ready (see my reply posts above for instruction), or install newest Java if you don't have it.

I think this is fixed by today's SMC update.

How about you, guys?

just now I had the same fu....ng bug again....:-(((((((
