Hello!

I have a macbook pro 13 mid 2012, with osx 10.8.3 installed. Chrome 26 flickers at grey shades. For instance, it flickers at the lower grey part of the macworld.com web page. With safari 6.0.3, (or the previous chrome) there is no flickering at all.

Has that ever happened to anyone of you? Any solutions? Thank you.

Please move my thread to mac applications. I didn't notice that category when I first posted.

Yes, I get this too only with Chrome. It doesn't occur with Safari or Firefox. Very annoying and the flickering happens with greys and sometimes blacks.

it is not a chrome problem, the problem is in the LCD. I have two mid-2012 13-inchers both flicker the same on the gray screen.

It does not happen with safari and firefox. What lcd problem are you talking about. Its chrome problem.

it does not happen in firefox because the shade of gray it uses is a little different.

for starters, chrome does not flicker on my crappy LG external monitor, just on the macbook's LCD
