[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 313075, member: 2960"] It isn't a hardware issue. Also, as you have found out, reinstalling OS X is not the saviour as many ex-Windows users proclaim (reinstalling [I]was[/I] a good catch-all technique to "fix" things in Windows, not OS X). It is an issue of redrawing screen items. It happens sometimes. I have seen the exact same thing happen in other operating systems. It has to do with cache and sometimes with how some web pages are written. Doing a Disk Repair or Repairing Permissions may help. Be sure to regularly clear your caches as well. Use Onyx, MacJanitor, etc. The same thing can happen in other apps, so using a utility app may help clear it up system-wide. One thing you don't want to do is reinstall OS X anymore. That only works in rare, unique situations like excessive kernel panics. Otherwise, reinstalling does little to help anything. Reinstalling should be the absolute last thing to do in order to remedy an issue. [/QUOTE]
