10.7.2 Application Switcher Distortion

Since upgrading to 10.7.2, I've noticed a graphics glitch with the application switcher (cmd+tab). Randomly the icons will be darkened or distorted, or when quitting an app via the application switcher, I'll notice the glitch flash when the application fades out upon quit. A logout/restart solves the problem temporarily, but it seems to arise shortly thereafter.

MacBook Pro Mid-2010
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB
2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

It is the model with the graphics switching, so I'm not sure if that is related? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

UPDATE: I would like to add that it's happening when my MBP is plugged into an external display. I currently go from plugged into an Apple Cinema Display at home to a Dell display at work. It appears to have graphics issues coming out of sleep on these monitors.

 

Thanks, Nielsenius. I've seen that solution floating around, so I'll try it and see if it helps. I guess the best bet is waiting for 10.7.3 and hoping Apple addresses the issues, or they issue a firmware update for early-to-mid 2010 MBPs.

 

Have you tried going to System Preferences > Displays > Color and switching to a different color profile (one of the many listed under the currently used one), to see if the distortion is temporarily disabled?

It has something to do with Nvidia drivers and color profiles on external monitors. It's doubtful that Apple fixes it in 10.7.3 unless it's a widespread issue, so the hope is that they release a firmware update to fix the issue.

 

So I went into /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/ and deleted a Color Profile I had setup for an old Dell monitor I no longer plug my MBP into. It seemed to alleviate the issue for a few days, but I plugged my MBP into my Apple Cinema Display when getting home today, and the app switcher icons were burnt looking. I logged out/back in and all was fine. Since you can switch the color profile, it makes me think that you need to recreate them because they are corrupt? Anyone know about doing this?

I currently have 3 Color Profiles in /Displays/ - Color LCD (MBP), Dell, and LED Cinema Display. I'm not really sure what the course of action is other than waiting it out...?

 

The Color Profile being corrupt or screwed up is just a guess on my part. It has nothing to do with the monitor. It has to do with the computer's graphics card and the assigning of Color Profiles on different monitors. There may not be a solution outside of waiting/hoping for Apple to fix it via a point-release or a firmware update, but I'm still going to try and diagnose it and find out if there's some configuration that's causing the issue to trigger.
