Graphics glitch is messing up the tabs

The tab graphics display area has a glitch. The tabs are sometimes covered by garbled characters in and background colors that make the tabs difficult to see and interact with. In the screen shot attached, see the far right tab for the problem. This problem is sometimes much worse, covering all but the first tab.. FF 36.0.4, Windows 7, updated to current.

Unfortunately, you probably need to disable McAfee Site Advisor on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then you can find it on the right side.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the page and click one of the links as the last step.
Success?

  • PS CS6 issue with crop tool: graphic glitches

    I am using Photoshop CS6 v13.1.2 and I'm experiencing an issue with the crop tool. Whenever I use the crop tool, move the frame around and then zoom in on the image, the image becomes noisy, pixelated or has other 'graphic glitches'. I changed the PS preferences to not use the GPU and then rebooted the computer. Still the same issue without the GPU.
    Running on Mac OS 10.8.3, iMac 2011 with AMD Radeon HD 6970M.
    Is there another workaround to use this tool until it might get fixed? Thank you.

    I've seen the same issue from time to time on windows 13.01.1 usually only on rather large pixel dimension documents.
    Does it make a difference if you flatten the image before using the crop tool?
    Also, using the classic mode for the crop tool doesn't seem to have that glitch.

  • Freezing Macbook Pro. Graphical glitches and occasional 3 tones on start up. Hardware test shows no errors. Is it RAM or a graphics card on the way out, or software?

    Recently my MacBook Pro has been freezing and showing bad graphical glitches. Multiple restarts eventually fix it and a couple of times the three tones break, three tones break warning has occurred on start up. From what I can find this is usually a RAM error but after doing a hardware check I get the response all is OK. This still happens after the check and I am unsure what the problem could be. Can anyone help? Could it be a memory issue, a hard drive issue, Graphics card issue (drivers are up to date) or is something up with the software. I also have a Bootcamp partition running Windows 7 too and this is a problem that presents itself there too.

    Most likely to be RAM:
    Beeps on startup:
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images.
    5 beeps = processor is not usable

    I would suggest you take it to an Apple Store for a free diagnostic.

  • I uploaded last release of CC (05/28/2014) but it did a mess on the entire pc: when I launched Photoshop it appeared a driver error on my graphic hardware; internet stopped to work and photoshop itself didn't respond.

    Hi, this morning I installed last upgrade of CC (05/28/2014) but it did a mess on the entire pc: when I launched Photoshop it appeared a driver error on my graphic hardware (I checked, everything was up to date nd correctly working) and Photoshop didn't respond; internet stopped to work too.
    The only way was to uninstall The CC App and create a restore point after uninstalling  (It wasn't possible restore a previous one BEFORE the upgrade of this morning....)
    My Processor is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4500U CPU @ GHz  2.40 GHz
    RAM is 8GB
    What do I have to do?
    Reinstall it without upgrading it?
    I would really appreciate that upgrades would be tested before being released.... -_-

  • Graphics glitches occurring with the GeForce 9400M?

    Has anyone seen the same type of graphics glitches occurring with the GeForce 9400M in the new MacBooks that occurred in the MacBook Pros with GeForce 8600M GT?
    The link to that previous issue is here: http://apcmag.com/appleacknowledges_macbook_pro_graphics_glitch_offersfix.htm
    When viewing web pages with both Safari and Firefox, the page gets corrupted when I scroll down with the trackpad (this does not happen when scrolling with arrow keys). Any type of animation or video on a page is also really jumpy and flashes in and out.
    It sounds like this was a hardware issue with the graphics card in the last version of the MBPs. Has anyone seen this issue in their new MacBooks?

    Hi there,
    the same issue on my new MBP Late 2008. First, it happens in Safari, then I tried Firefox and there it was too. I switched the graphics to the second GPU (the better) and it seems the problem were solved. Back on the mobile GPU it never happened again.
    I've never tried, but I think the problem occurs when to much Apps are opened and the Mac runs out of memory. The logout for switching the graphics gave the memory back and the better GPU has it's own memory.

  • Graphical glitch with The Next Big Thing

    I have a graphical glitch whilst playing The Next Big Thing. The character keeps disappearing or 'flashing' on/off. It's quite annoying and I don't know what to do.
    There doesn't seem to be any ways of adjusting the graphics, probably because it's a 2D game.
    I went through the apple support but I only get two choices. Either schedule a call or ring them myself later. I can't do either because I'm working abroad and don't have access to a phone.

  • T400 - serious graphical glitches while Hardware Virtualization is turned on in the BIOS.

    While hardware virtualization is enabled in my T400, I'm getting serious graphical glitches (garbled graphics). This happens both when outputting to the T400's monitor or when outputting to an external display.
    I actually don't have to do anything special to get the garbling to start - just booting Windows 7 and using it regularly will make it start to glitch.
    Help please.

    Thank you for that link, it was very helpful.
    The 'solution' of course, was far from satisfying (I'm experiencing Type B visual corruption). Especially considering the model I'm using is preconfigured - Lenovo shipped it with a 2GB+1GB DIMM.
    It boggles my mind that Lenovo uses a configuration that is not fully compatible with the processor.
    I don't find it so odd, most users will never use the virtualization feature.  I personally have 3gb in my T500 and have used H-V with the ATI chipset and it works as it should, I've tried it with the Intel GPU and it is garbage   but then again.. the intel 4500 is kinda garbage..

  • When I resize the font for the Page Labels on the tab control in LabVIEW 7, the Increment/Decrement size gets messed up. Is there a solution to this problem or is this a bug?

    I have noticed in LabVIEW 7.0 and 7.1 that when the text in the page labels display is enlarged, that the arrows enlarge but the top arrow enlarges more then the small arrow but then when you decrease the text size, the arrows stay remain large. This is not a problem in 6.1 because the arrows aren't available. Is there a work around for this bug or do I have to use small text for these page label arrows to look right?

    I must admit that I've never used the page labels display and it does look like a bug. You can fix it however. Select the tab control and choose Advanced>Customize. In the control editor, select the page label control and do the same thing. You should be in the control editor for the numeric control and then you can go to edit mode and enlarge the decrement arrow to make it the same size as the increment.

  • The tabs are messed up, i have to go to the tab next to the one i want to see the page

    ok, it's a complicated problem, but when i open any tabs apart from my two homepage tabs, the page doesn't show on the tab it should show on, and i have to open another tab and look at the one to the left of the one i want to see the page i want. please help! this is just since the newest update.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Major, Persistent Graphic Glitches. HELP!!!

    I've never had any major problems with my iMac before yesterday. I started noticing little random glitches popping up. But then I started seeing it everywhere. In the dock, in the menu bar and everywhere in-between. I thought maybe upgrading to 10.5.1 could solve my problem, but it hasn't.
    Here are some screenshots:
    http://homepage.mac.com/marceline407/.Pictures/glitches/dock_glitch.png
    http://homepage.mac.com/marceline407/.Pictures/glitches/spotlight_glitch.png
    http://homepage.mac.com/marceline407/.Pictures/glitches/misc_glitches.png
    As the glitches got worse it started locking up. First it would lock up only briefly, but it would seem to get worse and worse and lock up for longer periods of time until I would get impatient and reboot. I noticed that I could sometimes get it to unlock by clicking on the desktop or messing with the dock or hitting command-tab. And if I was typing something and it locked up before the text would show up on screen I could get it unlocked all the text I had typed before and while it was locked would appear. Usually if my iMac locks up it won't keep taking input from the keyboard.
    It's almost as if the computer's processes are working fine, but the graphics processor (or wherever the pixels get their orders) is lagging.
    In the picture below; I moved a window and it locked up again. Then when it came to, it refreshed the pixels around the window but wouldn't refresh the rest unless I took the window and moved it all around the screen or went into the overview of my spaces.
    http://homepage.mac.com/marceline407/.Pictures/glitches/graphicrefreshglitch.png
    The most noticeable glitch is the most elusive. It's like the whole screen motion blurs horizontally. It's not really a blur, it's almost like the pixels all jump in opposite directions for a second or two.
    Is leopard trashing my GPU or what?! I want a new iMac, but not like this!... . . not like this.

    Ok, well according to my local Apple certified computer specialists; I need a new power supply and logic board. I have no idea what caused the malfunction of these components (and they didn't seem to either), but I'm not putting down 500 wing wangs that could be going towards a new computer to fix a 3 year old iMac.
    Amazing timing really. The warranty ended in September.

  • Strange graphical glitch on 55TL515

    I'm getting a strange graphical glitch occasionally on my 55TL515.  When the glitch appears, it will reoccur every 20 seconds or so.  I've discovered one way to make this disappear temporarily, but I'd like a permanent fix.  Let me describe my living room setup for a second...
    I currently have the TV connected by itself to one outlet.  The second socket is currently empty.
    In another outlet, I have a filled power bar plugged in.  The power bar contains my stereo, xbox, pc, macbook, external hdd, and router.  
    When the glitch appears, if I unplug this power bar and reconnect it, the glitch disappears.  I don't understand why this is.  They aren't even in the same outlet (they used to be, until i started messing around with this problem).  I've tested different HDMI cords, all of the HDMI inputs, and have seen this glitch when using both my pc and my xbox on this tv.
    Can anyone provide a possible solution to this?  I don't want to keep everything unplugged as I use them all frequently.  Could it be the power bar?  Is it actually a problem with the tv?  Please take a look at this youtube video and see what you think.  Thanks.

    I get the same issue...typically this happens if I connect my laptop through a VGA cable.  I've tried everything from changing my video card settings(resolution, refresh rate, etc...) but I get the same exact graphical glitch.  Any luck on figuring this out?
    Also, do you ever get thin lines that roll/move up the screen?  I would get those occasionally and it had something to do with the digital switching inside the laptop power supply(the laptop power supply was on the same outlet) and was causing this problem so moving it to another power outlet or circuit breaker helped, but I still get the graphical glitch you have.

  • Weird graphical glitch - Aperture 2.1.1l

    First, my system configuration is as follows:
    Mac Pro (original 2006), OS X 10.5.4
    ATI Radeon X1900XT with two monitors (24" 1920x1200 flat panel, 17" 1280x1024 flat panel)
    Nvidia 7300GT with one monitor (17" 1280x1024 flat panel)
    4GB of RAM
    2x 250GB SATA hard drives.
    Here's the problem. When I use Aperture, I frequently get a black screen in the photo area when I start editing a photo, particularly the levels control. I cannot see the photo once I start editing it, and when I switch to other photos it either randomly goes black or displays the photo with really bad color distortion.
    If I export the photos and open them in Preview they look fine. It's only while being edited in Aperture that they look messed up. Also, if I use the fast preview feature (P to toggle it when browsing) the problem goes away. But of course this keeps me from adjusting photos which is the primary purpose of Aperture!
    Has anyone else seen this problem? It's maddening that I spent $200 on this software and it has such obvious graphical glitches.
    Thanks for any insight anyone can provide.
    -John "Zorin" Flynn

    Your post got me to thinking, and I started fiddling with the displays.
    When I unplug the 17" flat panel from the Nvidia 7300GT card, the problem goes away. It only seems to happen when that display is active.
    It doesn't seem to matter how I connect the displays, if the head on the Nvidia card is activate the problem manifests.
    So there's some sort of conflict between the video cards. This is odd, because *everything else* on the system works great. Heck, I like to drag playing videos off onto that head and it works beautifully.
    Oh well, guess I'll have to unplug the monitor whenever I use Aperture until the bug is fixed. Still very annoyed, as it's all Apple hardware and shouldn't have these problems. What happened to "It just works"?

  • Graphical Glitches- Safari and movies and beyond

    I visited the Apple homepage today and watched the Quicktime ad for the MacBook Air. As it ended and the movie transitioned with the gradient field behind it, where multiple views of the Air could be chosen, there were black blocks that would flicker in and out during the transition. The same blotchy graphics occurred when switching between the different views of the Air. These glitches occurred when any image was opened in it's own browser window/tab as well. I also noticed on different websites and particularly long listed sites, like the support forums, that text would become "displaced," like pieces of graphics were copied over, duplicated and slightly off from where they should align with other text. I thought it was just a Safari issue but the glitchy text was also occurring in Mail and even the Finder. I had to restart to get it to stop duplicating and shifting text. I haven't had the black blocks occur again. Thought maybe it was a Flash issue but got more concerned when I began affecting apps beyond Safari. A graphics card issue, perhaps?
    I hadn't noticed any of this before the Leopard Graphics Update a few days ago and it doesn't happen at all on my other Macs, just the Santa Rosa MacBook Pro (my other, older MacBook Pro has no issues with it). I was having that black screen after sleep issue that's been mentioned and think I've got that squared away only to find this issue.

    Other topics about this very thing have stated that the problem only occurred when the MacBook Pro was running on battery power. I don't remember that being the case for me. It was after the graphics update so I'm wondering if that was the cause. It was said this issue was even seen on machines running Windows via BootCamp. But this only effects my newest MBP, not the older Core2Duo model. Some have said that the recent release of the Safari update cleared things up for them. I haven't installed it yet and still wonder why one Mac out of six I use only have suffered the issue.
    I'm updating now to actually admit that after posting this topic that I've yet to have another problem with it, Safari, Mail, Finder or anywhere else.

  • Graphical glitches in Safari 5.0.1 render it unusable

    Wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Semi-recently, over the last month, I've been getting these intermittent strange graphical glitches in Safari.
    I can't tell if it's due to the most recent Flash update or an Apple software update.
    The fact that I can't make it happen at will makes it even more difficult to debug. It's so annoying that I'm considering ditching Safari for good.
    Basically, sometimes when I'm surfing one of three things may happen:
    1. Certain things stay on top of Safari, see the screenshot below.
    http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/1606/safariglitch1.jpg
    2. The entire window turns into a nasty looking mosaic, see the screenshot below which oddly enough is a screenshot of a screenshot because if I save the actual screenshot, it saves as all black.
    http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/1694/safariglitch2.jpg
    3. If you picture Safari in a 3x3 grid, sometimes the middle third will get "stuck" across all tabs and not scroll. Sorry, don't have a screenshot of that.
    The only way I've been able to remedy any of these is to quit and restart Safari.
    Anyone else run into this?
    Very aggravating.

    annoying indeed.
    I'd start by moving everything in the Home/Library/safari folder, except your bookmarks.plist (quit safari beforehand) & testing until you see the problem again. If you do, either disable Flash, or if you use it (naturally) consider swapping to an earlier version temporarily.
    If/when it seems Flash related, try trashing all of Home/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/, since that holds some Flash settings.
    If a new account (for testing) appeals, then your bookmarks & more can be copied over to it without much trouble - fast user switching makes it rather easier to flit back n forth too.
    *edit* you might usefully remove Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist at the same time as the Safari folder contents.
