Safari screen draw glitch, cover flow

I have this issue: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2579254?start=0&tstart=0

If one has several tabs open in Safari and one if the tabs is showing the history (with cover flow), it can happen that parts of the history ”cover flow” graphichs is seen through other tabs even if the tab with the history isn't the frontmost.



Not too big of an issue, but still.
Feels like it's maybe a graphic driver issue?
Happens on both a computer with ATI graphics and one with Nvidia.

I heard this update is supposed to fix issues with the wireless on the new 2011 Macbook Pros... Hence the reason why they want people to test the Airport.

My sister has the 13" 2011 Macbook Pro, and it drops her wireless connection every 2 minutes or so... She has a wi-fi router provider by her DSL provider (CenturyTel) so I'm sure that's part of the issue....

I have a 2011 Macbook Pro 15 inch, knock on wood, works perfectly with my WNDR3700 from Netgear. Probably going to upgrade to the 4000 though to get the 450mbps wireless!

Sorry, I didn't explain myself properly. I'm using 10.6.7, not 10.6.8 beta yet. I was going slightly off-topic. SL generally has been far less stable and slower than on Leopard, hence the likely need for complete re-install - to 10.6.7

The last update of Leopard was less stable than Tiger (although only slightly), and SL still hasn't caught up to Leopard. I'm pretty sure Lion will not be more stable than SL. Anyway, I don't upgrade my OS unless I have to because of a new machine.

I think Apple should take a lesson from Ableton and work on what they already have before introducing new features. There are tons of UI inconsistencies and annoyances.

SL 10.6.7 works great for me as is. I hope this update, when released, doesn't mess anything up.
Please make it a good one, Apple. I don't see myself moving to Lion for a long time.

I agree, since I too enjoy a trouble free New MBP via 10.6.7 and eagerly await 10.6.8.

I've followed the development of Lion very closely. As a result, I plan to stop buying new Macs, and enjoy this one running what appears to be the last good version of OS X.

Lion has already proven too toy like for me.

It's actually very disgusting to think that slowly Apple is eliminating their best desktop OS ever. Blending iOS and OS X, with the primary focus on iOS is lunacy from a professionals perspective. Yet that said, its a stroke of genius in order to fill Apples insatiable greed. No other company milks its customers like Apple.

Luckily I also enjoy Windows 7. I never thought Apple would kill off my absolute favorite, but they are. No worries, its been great while it lasted.

At least there are the millions of gullibles that will buy anything with the Apple logo. It increases my Apple stock quite nicely.
