My guess is that, although it appeared to just download the Safari update, in fact it modified (and broke) the current configuration.

Since the update required a restart to install, I left it and forgot about it.

Lightbulb moment: I seem to remember that I used the Software Update feature to download but not install the Safari update (5.1.2) between Mail working and breaking. Hopefully this post will be useful for anyone who encounters a similar problem. So it was working without that update, and furthermore I've not idea what I did to trigger the fault. The problem is still most strange, as the update for Safari has been pending for a great deal longer than the problem, which must have cropped up around ten days ago or less. But a colleague points out that Mail may well use WebKit's rendering engine, and it is possible that all of the IRC clients I tried also do. Initially I thought that this did some system 'tidying up', which kicked a graphics module back into shape. I installed the pending update for Safari, which I thought was quite irrelevant, and that has sorted it out. Any ideas?Įdit: just tried Adium as well, another chat client. Not sure I've done anything differently that might have caused this, tbh. The last thing I installed was a modem driver, but it's been working fine with this, so I don't think it was that that has upset the system. Not yet tried Mail in the second account - will do so - but am not hopeful.Īs a long shot, my colleague suggests that I try verifying my primary (only) disk, and this turns out to be fine ( verifying permissions as I type all disk permissions have been fixed, no change). I've tried a new user account, and the same problems are exhibited in LimeChat. I've tried removing most things from opening at login, again to no avail. I was also running gfxCardStatus, now removed from the boot sequence and not running. I've turned off the energy saving graphics mode in the Energy Preferences pane (although it has worked since new with that feature enabled). To be honest I'd not expect it to be an individual application issue, since it is affecting these three applications. I've tried an array of things to fix it - obviously tried rebooting, and also shutting down fully before turning back on.Īlso, I've deleted ~/Library/Preferences/, with no change in Colloquy's behaviour. For all three, the problem is that the screen is not being redrawn it appears to be acting transparently, and so screen furniture (scrollbars etc) are leaving a trail where the application content should be.

Having not used Mail for a week or so, I've run into some problems with it - plus similar problems with Colloquy and LimeChat (both IRC clients).

It has all the latest updates (except for an item each for iTunes and Safari).

The operating systems on which the clients can run natively (without emulation).I have a MacBook Pro running 10.6.8. Rcirc improvements are now released as part of Emacs.
