Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Certain pictures and spots on webpages flicker, disappear, get locked up, etc., on webpages on Safari on Retina MacBook Pro. The whole display has never been affected. It seems to only happen in Safari on websites such as Facebook. I'd take it to an Apple Genius but I can't get it to do it. It seems completely random. What could be causing this?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion
I've been dealing with the SAME EXACT PROBLEM for the last two months. After back and forth with AppleCare for over a month, and replacing the logicboard, it was still happening! I finally got them to send me a new one. It's been fine for a couple days, and now just started happening again. I searched google afterwards and found this post. I don't know what to do at this point. For example, on yahoo's homepage, if you keep clicking the right arrow to go through the different stories... there will be flickering from the previous photo that was on there. Is this the same issue? Also sometimes in text boxes, the cursor and the last couple letters I typed will temporarily dissapear. I guess this is what happens when you buy new technology right when they it comes out, but still there's no excuse. I'm having my old laptop sent straight to an Apple Engineer, because Apple claims they've "never seen this issue before". It's honestly been a huge headache for the past couple months, not sure what to do at this point. The only things I brought over from my original computer were about 30 Word documents, and my pictures that were previously uploaded from my iPhone.
Anyone else out there have the same issues, or know a fix to this?
I've now noticed that it's worse if I pick up the laptop by one hand, holding it between my thumb and fingers of one hand, by a corner.
That implies that there's a physical component to the issue.
Right now, there's no flickering. Hasn't been for an hour or so, but it will start again at some point.
One wonders, will Apple correct this problem, or let us solve it for them?

I have been having the same problem on my Macbook Pro. As I develop websites, I found that this was very frustrating as it only appeared to happen sometimes and I could not track down why. Reading through this discussion I had an idea and tried making a few coding changes. What I found was if I included the code line <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1" /> (in case this is not displayed as code correctly in the post it is, less than meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1" / greater than) on a page it sometimes flickers when I move to this page from another page but only when I was using Safari. Typically it flickers a few times and is then ok. By removing this line the flickering stops on my laptop. I am not sure if this is the same on all Macs and would love to know if anyone gets flickering on their Macs when using Safari. Please let me know if you see any flickering when viewing the following site

For the record I am using Safari Version 6.1.6 (7537.78.2) on a Macbook Pro with Mac OS X Version 10.7.5 Build 11G63b
I agree with the previous comments that this looks like a software bug in Safari that Apple need to address. As the line of code I removed is fairly standard it is possible that some of the sites others have had problems with also have the same or similar code line in the pages html code.
With some LUCK Apple will now be able to track down the problem and fix it.
