I called Apple. It's a known issue. Just not currently known why. The bug report says, "not hardware, not software, blah, blah, blah" the tech guy himself mentioned that hardware is suspected.



Ouch, then I bet it's a combination of driver and Quartz Extreme. That sure looks like the videocard is replicating a bitblt area over and over on an offset. What video card do you have? Have you tried making sure the driver's been updated? ATI just released an update.


As you said. See why I asked ya'll first?

Interesting that it doesn't happen in other programs?

Didn't realize it only happens in Addressbook. If that's the case it's a bug in Addressbook. A hardware or system error would happen in just about any program.


Can you get it to happen reproduceably?


Lesson learned, have a good back up computer around just in case Apple says, "Take it Back to the Dealer."


Anyone here old enough to remember: "And he never returned, no, he never returned and his fate is still unlearned...?"

Ouch, old enough, even, to recognize the line, AND not remember the song, though it might be the Jimmy Buffet playing right now, crowding it out.
