I have a dual 1GHZ G4 with an apple 23" Cinema Display. Ocassionally, when I attempt to move a window a copy of the image behind the window will fill the window. As I move the window about the screen many more copies of what is behind the window appear as if they were stacked windows all within the initial window.
I certain it is not a monitor problem as the same thing occurs with my second display, an apple 17" studio monitor. I have also run diskwarrior on my startup disk as well as repaired permissions. I even ran a virus scan. Nothing has worked. I've experimented with different resolutions and brightnesses to no avail. Wiping the screen clear with Expose or moving another window over the problem window temporarily seems to refresh the screen, but the problem resurfaces soon after. Strangely when I run the Ambrosia software April Fools prank Screen Cleaner Pro (which slowly and temporarily applies a darkened film over the screen which it then removes to make the user think the program has cleaned up your monitor) the problem disapears. It is as if the film that it applies keeps the screen constantly refreshed.
The problem has also prevented me from using Maya. No adjustments show up in the program until I wipe the screen with expose or another window.
It only began to occur after the most recent security update. If that has something to do with it I have no idea. I am out of ideas. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
