Screen ripple during scrolling

I recently purchased a Macbook Pro (late 2013). When scrolling in Chrome, there is a ripple effect, horizontally in the middle of the screen. It does improve when I close other applications, but is there a fix for it so that I can use the browser even with other apps open?
I haven't seen the problem in Safari, but I need to use Chrome for various reasons.
I have tried enabling and disabling scrolling inertia, with no change.
Thanks for any thoughts.

Never mind my above post. The latest status on this problem is that I've seen it multiple times, on both Chrome and Safari, with a variety of other applications running. To summarize:
- Screen rippling, or slightly glitchy-looking movement, during scrolling. Particularly noticeable with text.
- Happens unpredictably, though so far always when other programs are running besides the browser.
- Happens even when CPU usage is at a minimum (94% idle).
- Happened on two brand-new computers.
- Happened on guest account.
- Software updates completed, OS X Mavericks, Macbook Pro 15" Retina (late 2013).
Currently still have no idea on a solution.

  • Screen ripple effect when scrolling after installing Mavericks?

    Since downloading Mavericks some three weeks ago, my screen ripples (wave effect) when scrolling.
    Dominic kindly responded a short time ago with the suggestion it could be Autocad update related.
    All traces of Autocad wiped from my machine but still experiencing this ripple effect when scrolling.
    Beginning to wish I had not updated to Mavericks.
    Help!!!

    Mine too have this on my new MBP ( September 2009).
    It's more evident in Safari, but show also in finder while scrolling. It is not related to font antialiasing because enlarging page text in Safari (cmd +) the blurry effect is still there.
    I'm very disappointed of lcd screen quality, too much fatigue to eyes.
    Could be considered a screen hardware defect?

  • Mac osx lion screen texts and graphics jitter/flicker during scrolling

    Hello,
    I have recently upgrade my macbook (late 2008, the only aluminum Macbook model) to OSX Lion, and the screen scrolling is causing fatigue to my eyes as the texts and graphics jitter/flicker even at the slowest scrolling speed setting. This problem causes serious discomfort to reading long text on the screen that requires scrolling.
    Have anyone experienced this problem? Is there away to make the text scroll smoothly without jitters?
    Thanks

    HI PAT:
    HAPPENING to anyone that has the old Acrylic Cinema displays that use the ACD-DVI adapter.
    unplugging the adapter and replugging solves the issue bu it only last for one session if you reboot the flickering comes back so you have to unplug and replug again. is a Pain in the B.
    lot of people complaining about it. https://discussions.apple.com/message/16357859#16357859http://

  • Display ripples when scrolling ANY types of pages

    This is driving me nuts. And giving me headaches. And making my head spin.
    My MBPro 2.4Ghz with infamous Nvidia 8600M GT 256MB graphics card is the culprit. A real letdown compared to all the Macs in general, and the portables in particular, that I've used over the last 20 years.
    As others have reported here, there is a MAJOR issue with "rippling" lines of text when scrolling web pages. But I am getting the same thing when scrolling ALL types of pages: web, text, spreadsheets, etc.
    It happens both on the MBPro screen and on an external monitor.
    It happens when scrolling with the trackpad or with a USB mouse.
    It happens at all times.
    And, if this is possible, it seems to be getting worse. It's almost at the point where I have to TAKE MY EYES OFF THE SCREEN if I have to do any scrolling. If not, by the end of the work day, my head is spinning, my eyes are dead tired, I'm going cross-eyed and, more times than not, I've got a headache from all the "visual effects".
    I took my MBPro to an Authorized Apple Technician, to see if it had the defective Nvidia graphics card. I'd done a reformat and fresh install of 10.5.7 the night before.
    The Nvidia test software, on an external HD, showed that I don't have a defective card.
    Not a bid deal in the end, as they would have just installed the SAME type of graphics card and logic board.
    I convinced the Apple Tech to use my MBPro for a few minutes, just to show him what I meant. He said he was surprised to see the ripples, that he'd never really focused on that in the past. But they were definitely there, and he wasn't able to say that it was "normal", as he really wanted to do.
    He said he thought it might be a problem with the NVIDIA DRIVERS.
    He then went onto his 24" iMac with Nvidia graphics card and, lo and behold, he had THE SAME RIPPLING while scrolling longer web and text pages.
    This made him more convinced that it must be "imperfect" Nvidia drivers in Mac OS 10.5. And he said the only thing to do was hope that Apple and Nvidia get these drivers perfected and thoroughly tested in the near future, either by specific update or IN SNOW LEOPARD.
    What's frustrating is that I have NEVER had this problem with either our iMac 20" Core Duo, which has an ATI graphics card, or our Macbook Core 2 Duo with GMA 950 Intel chipset. That is, with much older, less powerful Intel Macs, but ones that DON'T HAVE NVIDIA graphics cards.

    I call it more of a flicker, but I also experience this issue with a MBP (led backlight). It is not browser dependant, but as Safari scrolls smoothly, it is much more apparent with this than other browsers.
    Here is a perfect example, watch the sidebars on this page while scrolling :
    http://www.theautochannel.com
    It's also particularly bad with this site (apple discussion board), and others with high contrast text, the text flickers/ripples very badly This never happened with my Powerbook display. Is this an issue or simply inherent with these displays. Personally, it is giving me headaches when scrolling through large amounts of text (which I often do for work), and rendering this laptop virtually unusable for me.
    I'm surprised to find very few others complaining about this phenomenon, perhaps I'm not describing the issue well with my search terms. Has anyone heard of a solution?
    Thanks

  • Firefox 13.0.1 shows distortion in browser during scrolling, why?

    I am using Mac Book Air-latest edition; Lion 10.7.4.
    While scrolling either up or down - in any window in the Firefox browser, there is a horizontal line or two that runs across the screen only during the scroll process.
    This is only in Firefox. Safari is fine when scrolling and so are all document types.

    Ciao ragazzi,
    anche io da qualche settimana avevo un problema più o meno simile a questo, e in qualsiasi pagina internet io mi trovavo, che stessi leggendo un documento o stessi guardando un'immagine, mi si creava nel monitor un fastidioso "effetto onda" quando usavo la ruotellina del Mouse per scendere o salire!
    Per fare un esempio era come cercare di leggere un giornale sotto l'acqua e dava una brutta sensazione di nausea dopo pochi minuti che stavo al PC!!
    Adesso grazie a voi e a questa guida ho finalmente risolto!! ^_^
    Yeeeee!
    Per la precisione io ho seguito questa procedura: FireFox > Strumenti > Opzioni > e nella finestra ho disabilitato la voce [Utilizza lo scorrimento veloce].
    Stavo quasi per disinstallare FireFox e passare ad un nuovo Broswer, fortuna che mi hanno fatto leggere prima questo link ^_-
    Grazie di nuovo a tutti. Ciaooo.

  • Starting random apps and screen flicker when scrolling

    My Touch 2G suddenly started to launch random apps without me touching the screen. Besides starting random apps the screen flickers when scrolling. Any body have experienced the same? It started about 1 month ago and I have always taken good care of it. I have tried every possible thing I can think of when it comes to software. Full restore, jailbreak, full restore, back to factory, back to earlier versions of IOS, but no luck. It is pretty persistent. I am sure it is hardware related and don't mind paying to have it fixed. I tried two repairshops already and they  were not able to recover the reason for the malfunction.  I wonder whether there is anybody who has experienced the same or even knows what is wrong?

    Hey Kimwaldal,

    Sounds like the devices are opening things on their own. You may want to follow this article to make sure the screens are working correctly.

    " I ordered the Snow Leopard software and tried installing it, but it stopped and said to clean the disk."
    First off, your installation disc is in all likelihood faulty.
    This has been a known issue in the past:

  • When using safari, my screen will suddenly scroll all the way to the bottom and will not resound to any commands.  This affects all running programs.  How do I stop this?

    When I am on the internet, my screen will suddenly scroll all the way to the bottom and will not respond to any commands.  All of the other programs are then affected the same way and you cannot even use the commands at the top of the screen becayse they all scroll to the bottom.  After a while, the screen resets by itself.  Help.

    It sounds like a problem wih the backlight inverter. Usually they just go, instead of on and off.
    In a dark room hold a flashlight on the display when it blacks out. If you can see the items on the desktop, it's probably the backlight.

  • Firefox 4 blacks out and distorts sections of the screen if I scroll on a website, navigate the bookmarks or sometimes just randomly.

    Firefox 4 blacks out and distorts sections of the screen if I scroll on a website, navigate the bookmarks, at the addons/extensions menu or sometimes just randomly. Occasionally this causes it to crash often with the rest of the computer (no crash report). The previous versions of firefox all ran fine.

    I seem to have fixed this by setting layers.acceleration.disabled to true (In about:config). I assume this is something to do with graphics hardware acceleration but I am not sure what the wider consequences of changing this setting are. Nothing seems to be going wrong so far though.

  • Full Screen Quicktime during Presentation?

    Can anyone think of a way to go to different full screen Quicktimes during a presentation? I can't think of anything.
    Thanks.

    you mean OTHER than putting each one on a slide and stretching it to fill the slide?
    I've had multiple QT movies sitting open in the QT Pro player before. I hit H to hide Keynote and fire which ever video I want to screen 2. Works great.

  • Screen problem during start up

    Is anybody familiar with different start up screen colours? Just recently my start up screen is showing (before the normal grey screen is displayed) a different colour for some seconds! Than it turns to the normal grey screen.....Is this a sign that my computer software is encountering problems/conflicts or is this a hardware problem (coming up) Please your remarks!

    Hi hans0555,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you have seen colors on your display when you start up prior to the gray screen. I know the following article doesn't specifically have your experience listed but I would suggest the steps to troubleshoot.

  • Screen Locking During Screen Share Access

    When I access my iMac from another Mac using Screen Sharing my iMac system is then open for anyone walking by to access.  Is there any way to use Screen Sharing for access and keeping the physical screen on the system being accessed locked?  I know there are ways to do this using a third-party VNC, but that requres using a non-standard port for access.  Is there some working-around for Screen Sharing, or perhaps some way to change the port that Screen Sharing is using (and if so, does this work?)???
    Jim

    I don't understand what you're asking here... about the screen locking during a call "over the time" set.
    Could you please explain?
