I just saw the issues described above in Firefox. >< I guess it probably is the graphics card. I don't understand why it's only affecting browsers though - I haven't seen this in any other application, and switching out of the applications resolves it instantly. | |

I have been seeing not quite the same glitches, but I do sometimes get black patches in web pages, after quitting a full-screen app [of course now I want to force it to show you, it won't break;) Though my card is an 'official Apple one, it's still a retro-fit HD 5770; older than yours & in a Pro 3,1 so not really any direct comparison. I can't put my old one back to check, it died years ago. | |

| Apr 30, 2015 at 7:01 | comment | added | tubedogg | @Tetsujin I'd have to figure out where I put it. :P But besides that, it didn't start then, and it's not system-wide. I forgot to mention I also tried disabling hardware acceleration in Chrome and that did not resolve it, so it shouldn't even really be trying to push the GPU that hard. | |
| Apr 30, 2015 at 6:45 | comment | added | Tetsujin | idk the answer, sorry - but would it be worth sticking the old GPU back in & testing? Might eliminate the GPU as the issue. (At least it's a Pro, not an iMac - different degree of difficulty altogether;) | |
