mike_ Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 About a week ago I took a screenshot and immediately started getting artifacts on my screen. They seem to be caused by non-shadowed cursors (i.e. the caret cursor as pictured, and the watch cursor, but not the pointer and beachball). I've rebooted, but that hasn't helped. Any ideas? It's starting to become really annoying when browsing web pages or editing documents. The only way to get rid of the artifacts is to cause the screen to refresh the affected area (i.e. by dragging a window around). Any ideas would be appreciated!

nkear5 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Solution = use Safari? From what it looks like you've tried to make it look like safari anyway.

mike_ Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hi, Yeah it was about 2am when I posted so I posted in the wrong section :s Yep, it's a hack. How did you guess? The problem happens in other applications including Thunderbird, Office 2008 applications, and Adobe Reader: What do all these applications have in common? Some other apps that I tried that aren't affected included TextMate and Pages. For what it's worth, this hack has been running perfectly for the last six months. This all started after I took a screenshot :s Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/95749-tiger-10410-screen-artifacts/#findComment-683539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
