My MacBook (first series) started to suck recently. It’s getting two years old this week. Maybe the internal death-clock has started to tick…
When switching windows under OS X, more precisely when I bring another window in front, the previously hidden areas of the window are sometimes filled with random pixel garbage. This happens infrequently (say once or twice a day) and the areas are rendered correctly after a fraction of a second. Nonetheless it looks trashy and has never happened before. Maybe it’s caused by 10.5.2…
What’s really weird is that transparent floating windows no longer work in some applications. In QuickTime Player, for example, the fullscreen controls are no longer semi-transparent, but filled with a static frame from earlier in the movie.
The problem disappears after a reboot. But I have a Mac. I don’t reboot.
Any ideas what I can do about it?
“Dressed Up As Life” von den Sick Puppies hab ich eher zufällig endeckt und bin mächtig beeindruckt. Solider Mainstreamhardrock, mal ruhiger, mal mit energiegeladenen Riffs, mitziehende Bassline und vor allem nie langweilig.
