Mac OS 10.13.4 wake up screen glitch

I've been noticing this issue lately and Ive called apple support about it and we have tried clearing the nv ram and the cmos and it still will not go away. I was worried that it could have been a hardware issue but after doing some researching I think this may be a software issue with metal 2. every time I wake my MacBook Pro from sleep I get a brief 1 second flash this is what it looks like

I found a reddit post with a lot of people having the same issue and I hope that apple sees this and fixes it.


is anyone else having this issue on the latest version of high Sierra ? are there any fixes ?

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS High Sierra (10.13.4)

I would like to move to Mojave to work on dark mode.

Do you know if there is a way to refresh the screen to recover the right screen behavior? I have to reboot and I loose everything not saved.

Or, do you know if there is an alternative to work on dark mode under HighSierra?


Thanks a lot for all your support.

I replaced my 2012 MacBook Pro with an SSD and 16GB of ram, full of standard ports, and it works better than the majority of current PC laptops on 2019.


Please, Apple listen to us and fix the issue in Mojave with our screens after wake ups.

Well... I have gone through apple phone support. Did a complete reset. Took it to apple and had them do a diagnostic, and complete reset (yesterday, found no issues). Today, it happened again. I have to completely shut it down to get it back up and running. Brand new Macbook Air (bought 12-28-18). Mojave. Green screen with a box that moves with the cursor... This shouldn't be happening to a brand new laptop!

You are not saying anything that hasn't already been discussed, mdp1101.


We are not looking for "good luck" with our Macs; we are looking for a solution to a graphics issue that manifests regularly following specific software patterns. Please read even a page of comments on this thread before offering your suggestion that maybe we just dropped it.

I struggle to be hopeful that this will change

I have trouble believing Apple will fix this issue as it had been several releases/updates of MacOS without any acknowledgement of the issue on their part (as far as I can tell). We are 10 pages of posts in, this thread is one of the most popular in it's category, and we're still hoping (guessing?) each update will help. Maybe you touch bar havers count to Apple but I'm sure owning a 2012 MacBook doesn't garner me any sympathy. I like that Metal 2, but c'mon...

I've been having a similar issue with my mid-2012 13" MBP, but the display irregularities remain until I restart the machine. This is a visual aspect only, because the menu bars can be opened and respond as required.


Has anyone found a fix for this?
