When I view content in Apple Mail, I get weird artifacts on my display. I also know that the artifacts are not hardware based, because they move along with the window when I drag it.

Does anyone know how to get rid of this bug? When reading text based messages, it is conceivably one of the most irritating bugs possible.

Edit: The solid black rectangles are my hasty censoring attempts. The circled things are the artifacts in question.

Confirmed

I have the same problems. I also have the AMD Radeon HD 6750M chipset, probably related to this.
I submitted a bug report to Apple.

My computer is 99% on the Intel HD3000 while in Mac OS X. The AMD chipset wasn't even activated while Mail was running.

I haven't seen anything in Mail with the 6770m in my iMac but I did notice a similar glitch with the folder icons inside finder windows on occasion. I changed them using Candybar anyway because I'm not big on the original icons and that fixed the problem but obviously shouldn't be necessary.

Updated to 10.8.1 and I have the same problem. (I had it before the .1 update as well.)

Been awhile and not trying to rehash an old thread but I am experiencing this as well. I have a late 2011 MBP and it seems to only happen when launching mail.
