Fine Tearing when scrolling pages, norm?

Hi All
Whenever I scroll quickly down web pages, the main directory of all the boards of this forum is a prime example.
The problem is similar to tearing but it more just affects text causing it to appear and to disappear and reappear quickly. It is hard to describe but it doesn't happen on my old laptop or my windows machine.
Normally I would not ask but it hurts my eyes to look at. Wondered if anyone had a similar problem?

Ripple effect in Safari browser when scrolling pages

When scrolling through a web page in safari using my new iMac Core Duo 17" there is a "ripple" effect in the middle of the page I'm scrolling through. This happens when I use the mouse to drag the scroll bar on Safari. Happens no matter what web page I'm on. This didn't happen on my iMac G5.
Any else have this problem?

The threads I saw on this are locked... I had no problems with anything UNTIL the 10.4.5. update - now I have the Safari "ripple effect" on almost every web page. I have to select / highlight the "rippled" portion of the page in order to view it properly...Wonder why this happened to my machine after the update? The update seems to have fixed this problem for others...

Pages tear when scrolling vertically

This is hard to describe, but, with Safari 1.3.1, OS 10.3.9, when I scroll vertically in Safari on SOME web pages (including some Apple pages), the top part of the screen will stay put, while the lower part seems to slide under the upper part. If I scroll far enough, it will suddenly jump into place. On some pages, this happens at different locations across the screen--it may have something to do with frames, dynamic menus, etc. IOW, maybe the center will slide under at a higher (on the screen) location than the right column. It's rather strange. I wondered if it could be some problem with my Kensington trackball with a scroll ring, but I swapped it for the Apple mouse and uninstalled the Kensington software, with no effect. Sometimes, clearing the cache (and, other times, clearing both Java caches) seemed to help, but not always. Also, I found the same problem with my PowerBook, which has never had any non-Apple input device software installed. Also, it happens in Safari and Shiira (which I think uses the same rendering engine as Safari), not in Firefox 1.5 (though the scrolling in Firefox is very jerky, as others seem to have mentioned) nor in iCab. (All except Safari are the latest versions; Safari is the latest version for Panther.)
Here's a page that shows the problem:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mac.html
The problem occurs whether I use the scroll ring on the trackball, the arrows on the vertical scroll bar, or click on the thumb button and move it. In some cases, using the page up and page down buttons will avoid the problem, but not always. Moving the cursor over some parts of the page will cause them to suddenly change, even without clicking/selecting anything.
Any ideas?

Hi George
I have had some strange issues like that, including the mouse curser slipping under the top of page. I use an apple mouse. i did not see the problem
when I clicked on the link u posted it took me to quicktime is that the page you meant?
Do you run permission repairs for & after software updates, though I do not know if it has anything to do with this it is a nesscessary maintance that helps things running well. Great L4s & some of their links.( organized by Red Dwarf in User Tips)

Pages tear when scrolling

I have been having odd things happen when scolling, only starting in the last week or so. When I scroll down the page, I get partway down and then the upper part stops scrolling and the lower part scrolls under it. The opposite thing happens if I scroll up – the lower part stops scrolling and the upper part scrolls under it. Very bizarre, intermittent behavior, only with some pages.
I'm not using CopyPaste, as are folks on another thread. I have not installed any new preference panes or other programs since this has started, at least that I recall.
Any others with this problem? Restarting Safari does not help.

I may have discovered the culprit: I recall I
upgraded Sidetrack to 1.3 and then got the problem.
I just reinstalled it and pages that routinely tore
appear to be OK now. Got a great screen shot off
one, though! I'll keep an eye on this and if it's
solved, I'll close the case.
Allan did you update sidetrack to 1.3 before you reinstalled it,
or had you removed it and ran permissions or something, and
reinstalled now works well.
I just went 2 versiontracker to see what it is, A trackpad driver for PowerBook/iBook, maybe it was a permissions problem did you
get any errors when you ran repairs ?
I would like to see screen shot if you want to sent it.
sent to [email protected] okay?
great that the pages appeaar ok. Might as well
keep a look out till you are sure its resolved.
You know there is also another update to Tiger 10.4.5
when you do it, do the Combo on Apple downloads.
don't forget to run permission, before & after.
keep us posted.

Published iWebsite pages turn red when scrolling pages in iWeb

Hi everyone,
Just wondering if I'm the only person who has this issue; when I publish my iweb sites and pages (to MobileMe) all goes well, but when I then scroll my page up and down in iWeb the site turns red again as if I have changed its content.
I've tried the usual stuff (deleted caches, prefs, logged into MM under a bogus username and password) to check if the problem is a MM issue but this also occurs when I publish to a folder...
I've repaired disk permissions and did a fresh install of OS X (10.6.7) two weeks ago.
Does anyone have any other suggestions which might solve this issue? Or perhaps even the same problem?
cheers,
koen

Brilliant OT!
Although immediately posting to the discussions group says something about my personal opinion on the reliability of iWeb ... the problem was caused as you expected; the double digit finger action.
So 'no swiping in iWeb' I suppose.
The 'turning red' of published site pages was 100% reproducible by scrolling down using my trackpad, but it doesn't happen when I use my mighty mouse or the arrow buttons/scroll bar thing. (Even although nothing was selected in iWeb, bit of a bug if you'd ask me)
Thanks again for pointing out the logical and to me not so obvious
cheers,
koen

Keeping audio played to play even when scrolling pages (epub)

Hello,
I am about to produce a new epub, a fixed layout book, in which I want an audio mp3 file that can be heard in the background.
It is an audio book, the user can either read by himself, or choose to listen to the recording.
The problem is that each time the user scrolls to a new page - the audio player stops... and has to be activated again.
Is there any smart way to avoid it? Maybe setting the audio player in a header?
I have tried in a master page, but it did not work.
Thank you!

Thank you.
What I am actually aiming out to is to make a page with two columns, in which in one the text scrolls from page to page, and the other one is sort of a "constant vertical header" - which will stay the same in all pages. In this column I want to place the media files - which are independent and not linked to any page. Thus, the user can select on each page any media he wishes. The problem is that when the media is playing, and a page turns - the media actually "resets" - and you need to activate it again - which is very annoying.
Would you have any solution or idea for such an issue?
BTW - I use the epub fix layout method.

IPad AIR 2 - SAFARI Loading slow when scrolling pages

I'm having problems with my iPad AIR 2 with the slow loading web pages with scrolling up and down .
The problem looks like the video posted on YouTube , the video shot by me.
Sorry for my English.
LINK YouTube: https://youtu.be/jYudjQwk7so

so I went to the Genius Bar today
the genius ran the usually diagnostic
she said I had a memory issue
she tried to blame it on some old backup restore
but I've never used one
i always start fresh on a new device manually (other than iCloud contacts and bookmarks)
well she wouldn't listen and insisted she restore the device yet again
((vie already done it 2x in the last week)
anyways things were fine for an hour
tthe problem is now back
i made another appointment for Monday
know for a fact this issue does not affect every iPad air 2
there are several in my family
i am beginning to think its an issue with low performing ram
ppossibly apple used two suppliers
i don't want to fail victim to conspiracy theories
but I am extremely ****** off and I will demand a new iPad on monday

Spinning beachball when scrolling pages; filling forms

1.3.1 on 10.3.9
Didn't notice when this started, but for some time now, scrolling a page or filling out a form is cumbersome as the program hesitates, often for a few seconds, with a spinning beachball as I move around the pagee or click on buttons. eBay is especially bad. FedEx this AM was also difficult.
I clear cache and keep a pretty tight ship. Any ideas what's going on?

No, because the problem occurs even opening a non-form page.
I'm thinking that it might be a bigger problem with my entire system.
My 500mhz ibook, 640 MB RAM with the same system does not have this problem - Safari is fairly quick.
I'm wondering is something is eating my processing speed.

Screen twitches when scrolling pages

Hi everyone. Well, I have my Macbook Pro with Retina display for 2 months now. Yesterday I booted it in safe mode and, I have no idea why, but my screen started twitching and now every time when I'm scrolling/sliding pages it twitches. I've rebooted my pc for at leas 3 times (yes,I now, it wasn't really necessary), I've reseted Safari (firstly I thought that it is Safari problem) but nothing has changed. Any ideas what it could be or any suggestions what should I do?

Reset, hold at same time Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself. If you have a screen protector on, consider removing it.

Keeping Menu Visible When Scrolling Page

Hi, I have a flash website that has a fair amount of conent
on one of the pages such that you need to scroll down a few pages
to get to the end of it. I have a verticaly oriented menu bar on
the right side of the screen that I would like to move down and
stay visible as the user scrolls to view the whole page. Right now
the user has to scroll all the back up to the top to use the
navigation bar. My menu bar is setup as a movie object in flash.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There's a javascript event that fires when a user scrolls
using either the mouse wheel or clicking the up or down arrows. You
can catch it in javascript with this: window.onscroll =
doSomething;
I'd have that function adjust the position of the div tag
containing your flash movie.

Firefox Tearing when Scrolling - How to enable Vsync.

Peace ppl!
I'm experiencing firefox tearing issues/visual artifacts when smooth scrolling is enabled on aur/firefox-pgo 3.6.6-1.
One way to solve this is to enable vsync. Simply enable desktop effects on kde4 and enable vsync.
$ glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
263 frames in 5.0 seconds = 52.432 FPS
The fps is close to the monitor refresh rate of 60Hz.
The weird thing is if I disable desktop effects thereafter, the vsync setting still stands!
Is there a way to enable vsync without going through all this?
Perhaps through an xorg.conf setting. (Don't have one now; not required)
Thanks in advance!

[unsolvable] ff 3.6 +nspluginwrapper-flash = flickering when scrolling

Im using nspluginwrapper-flash cuz 64-bit flashplugin was always very laggy for me.
I'm getting pretty annoying flickering of every flash content when scrolling page.
Checked with:
nspluginwrapper-1.3.0-1
nspluginwrapper-flash-10.0.42.34
nspluginwrapper-flash-10_1_p2_linux_121709
+ with removed ~/.mozilla
This problem exists only with firefox, every other browser is working well.
Anybody have noticed something like that? Any clue?

Well... i've just downloaded firefox-nightly 3.7a1pre-3 from AUR, and it seems to be fixed - so maybe in next release of ff 3.6.x it will be fixed also.
Unfortunettly not all of my addons are working ... like firebug - good that im not using it more often.
More important is that NoScript and Adblock are working fine.
But well - it's still not a solution.
Edit: Better make bookmarks backup before switching to firefox-nightly... + nspluginwrapper-flash in unstable with it
Still if you know something - please write it here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=90074

Noise when scrolling!

Trackpad, mouse, tablet, don't matter. Quiet but annoying buzzing sound, but not every time, when scrolling pages in safari or firefox.
Brand new Macbook Pro 2.5
Any thoughts, suggestions?

A sound you only hear as you scroll, moreso on graphically intense pages? Doesn't matter what the volume on your computer is set to? If yes, then it sounds like it could be capacitor whine. Not really sure how to fix that, as it's a physical issue with a capacitor on your logic board. My old laptop had/still has that problem, but that company (not Apple) wouldn't cover it under warranty.

Pngs flicker and appear as white boxes when scrolling down page in Chrome 37.0.2062.120 m

Hello,
I have noticed that pngs flicker and appear as white boxes when scrolling down the page in Chrome 37.0.2062.120 m in windows only. Chrome on the mac is fine and this issue doesn't occur on the windows version of chrome canary. It would appear that the pngs are reloading when I scroll.
There is alot going on in this animation, I am going to sprite most of these pngs to reduce sever requests which may help, but im certain this isnt the root cause of this issue.
Has anyone come across this issue before?
Please link to the animation in question here.
Any advice much appreciated. http://new.oliverrice.co.uk/oliverrice.co.uk.html

So I have created a sprite for the majority of the png's that form my symbols. This has reduced the total number of sever image requests from over 70 to 5. this has worked really well and feel adobe could add a feature that creates one sprite from all the images within the library. The animation seems to run a lot faster than before and loads much quicker.
I am however still experiencing the problem mentioned above in chrome 37.0.2062.120 m.
The animation also runs slowly on the I pad and I phone which I guess is down to memory usage? The animation wasnt intended for the iphone, but it would be nice to see it run on the ipad.

When I print a Word document to a shared printer, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines.

When I print a Word for Mac document to a shared printer (that is connected to my iMac) from my Macbook Pro, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines. I have tried to adjust the margins and the page setup settings but to no avail. It used to print fine until recently. Is there a way to fix it so that the printer prints what print preview shows?

I should add that when I e-mail this document to myself and print it directky from the iMac, it prints fine.
