mavericks flickering black behind dock on first gen Retina MBP

So I'm not sure what this is, and my computer is only 1 year old. (15" Retina MBP from Fall 2012) Should work totally fine with Mavericks, but it has this weird flickering behind the dock. It only happens when I'm using the computer without an extra display/monitor. When I'm connected to my Apple Display, this isn't an issue. It's really frustrating to be working in photoshop or reading an article and have the dock flickering like this. I'm not sure if they're releasing a specific patch because I don't know if anyone else is having problems. I'm just hoping it will be fixed with a 10.9.1 update patch.

Any ideas?

Just wondering if you're using something like Dock Designer to create the spaces between your icons or whether you used the defaults command for that. If the former, wrt your issue, is it up to date for 10.9?

nope, it's a command in Terminal that creates invisible icons, not a program or app that's out of date. has nothing to do with the artifacts left on the screen.
