Q: Screen flickers on MacBook Pro with Retina Display

Hello,

 

I'm having an issue with my MacBook Pro with Retina Display, sometimes the screen is flickering for half a second.

It appears more often today, I don't know why.

I hope I could find help here.

 

Thanks in advance.

    Thanks, I will try to call them and do it next week.

     

    I have searched a lot about the subject and I found some informations :

    * for some users webgl is the reason

    * for some others by putting never to screen sleep the problem seems to disappear

     

    If you have the same problem try this to see if this happen (happen a few times for me) :

    Go to Gmail with Chrome and open a new tab

    Expand the brower to the left or right

    Go back to Gmail and it will resize automatically to the new width

    Sometimes during this process, the issue appear.
