After installing the macOS Mojave update, I get a strange visual bug in the Dock from time to time. It disappears when I click on something in the Dock or if I try to make a screenshot (that's why I had to capture the screenshot using camera instead of screenshots).

  1. There is a horizontal line between the Mail and Calendar app icons and one in the middle of the Notes icon:

  1. There is a horizontal line in the middle of the ForkLift icon:

Note: When installing the macOS Mojave update, my Mac got stuck on the analytics screen (like described here: Mojave install froze on "analytics", successful force reboot- but did it miss anything?) and I had to restart it manually. Maybe that has corrupted my installation?

I'm using macOS Mojave 10.14 on a 2014 MacBook Pro.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Edit:

It looks like that this bug isn't linked to specific icons on the Dock. It appears randomly and disappears when I click on the dock. It looks a bit like it only appears next to active apps most of the time. It's still present after several restarts of my MacBook.

Edit 2:

I was able to reproduce this bug. I appears every time I minimize a window. You can see it here: enter image description here You have to look closely to the Postman icon (the 6th from the left), the Mail icon (10th) and the Notes icon (12th) after I minimize Chrome. You can see the bright square until I click on the Chrome icon again.

Edit 3:

I updated my Mac to 10.14.2 and the bug still appears.

    Can you edit your question to explain the 'visual bug' that you see? I'm not able to see anything wrong in the images, maybe I'm just missing it.

  • I did so. I know that it's really hard to see on these images.

  • Have you tried just reinstalling the system again, and letting it complete fully. That may not help but its such an easy first step its well worth a shot.

  • Would that override my OS settings and app installations? I hesitate to do this because I need this MacBook for work.

  • There is a more recent update 10.14.3. Maybe updating to that will help?

I have this exact problem while connected on an external monitor using a Macbook Pro 2017. The problem is the window animation, I experience this problem using the Scale Effect animation but it disappears as soon as I am using the Genie Effect. That's an acceptable workaround, still I wonder how this is not fixed on Apple's side.
