Staggered Graphics - New i7 MacBook Pro

I've tried this on three different Macs and it only happens on my 13" i7 MacBook Pro w/ 8GB RAM.



When opening the app, it staggers across the screen - as can be seen by a .mov I have linked to.



On other Macs, it pops open just fine - no staggering.



Once it's been opened, it's fine -- but if I sleep / resume - the problem returns (which is how I can re-create at will).

    Helo and welcome to the forums, otech!



    That certainly is odd. I'm glad that it's not affecting your actual usage, though. I wonder if it could be related to the new Intel 3000 IGP. Previous models used Nvidia's 320m, so it could be that the drivers aren't mature yet -- or simply that integrated graphics aren't exactly speed demons. Do your other Macs have dedicated graphics processors, and do you experience this with other apps at all on your new 13"? It kind of looks like a video buffering issue, which might make sense waking from sleep, etc. and especially since it's an onboard (actually part of the CPU package, I think) GPU using shared system memory.



    In the video, it looks like you are switching to the app using Spaces, but you said that this happens when you first run 1Password. I would love to hear more.



    P.S: Congratulations on the 8GB. I am a little jealous! <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />

    It does look like it is related to Spaces.



    Please try opening 1Password in the current space (rather than having OS X switch spaces when you launch it). Does the issue persist?



    Also, try to "Disable Animations" in 1Password (Preferences > Advanced) as this has been shown to cause problems with Intel graphics switching for some folks.



    Please let me know if you have any additional information as well. We would love to resolve this if it is a problem with 1Password.
  • For what it's worth, I have an i7 MacBook Pro (2010) model, 8Gb RAM, and don't get that jerking, even when switching spaces to bring the app up.



    May be it's something to do with the way you've got your system configured? Is the Nvidia card kicking in?

    That would be my guess which is what "Disable animations" in 1Password's preferences will help determine. Graphics are not switched with that disabled.

    Sorry for the delay here! I forgot about this, until I just launched the app. I disabled animations & the problem seems to have subsided.

    I always have 1Password in Space 5 (by itself) -- would be rough if I had to abandon the way I worked <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />



    Thanks!

    I'm glad everything is working well now!
