Problems with screen painting in safari?

Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I have problems in Safari on a regular basis with the screen not updating/refreshing/repainting properly. It's seem particularly bad when typing in a text box on a web page, for example GMail when composing an email or when using Facebook website. When typing, characters are captured but do not show on screen (they are there...I can shift+backspace and then copy the characters).

Anyone else seen this problem or have suggestions? Using a 15" Macbook Pro late 2011 model.

Thanks!

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

I have the same issue on my 2012 rMBP. Entering text into any field causes weird paint issues where stuff flashes over the text or the text doesn't appear. It is VERY annoying and only happens in Safari. Been this way ever since 10.8.2.

I notice no one has bothered replying to this (or fixing it).

It's not got better with updates, in fact it's probably worse. This is so shoddy, why do we put up with it? - we pay enough money for their computers and the software and they treat us with utter contempt by ignoring us.
