Safari 3.0.4 window redraw issues

Question

I recently updated to 10.5.2 and Safari 3.0.4 (5523.15) on my MacBook Pro (15", 2.4GHz). Ever since the update, I'm having screen redraw issues in Safari where artifacts are left on the browser window while I attempt to scroll vertically through a web page.
After playing around, I have discovered that if I use the vertical scrollbar, everything works properly. But if I use the touchpad scrolling (ie. via dragging two fingers on the touchpad), the window scrolls but it does not redraw properly leaving multiple copies of sentences smearing into each other making the page unreadable. The only way to clear is to use the scrollbar to scroll up and down and force the browser to redraw those portions of the window.
Has anyone else seen this issue and know of any work arounds. Up until this point, I have gotten very used to using the touchpad scrolling and it worked fine until the 10.5.2 update after which I'm getting this smearing if I scroll using the touchpad. =(

I had the same problem not only in Safari but in Finder as well. Serious it was too. It appeared after installing the 10.5.2 update. I got the advise from my local Mac dealer to reset the System Management Controller (SMC). I did as he said and now it works just fine
