I've seen this same behavior (duplicated pixels from menu bar) with an older iMac, but not a more recent MacBook Pro.

The iMac that shows the problem is:

20" Mid 2007
ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB

The MacBook Pro that works without issue is:

15" Late 2011
AMD Radeon HD 6750M or 6770M and Intel HD Graphics 3000

I was wondering if the graphics card might be part of the problem, but that is just a guess.

Both machines were running Mac OS X 10.7.4.

A fix for bug 12088 might solve this also. Do you still see this behaviour in an up-to-date trunk?

I have just installed 24.2 for a starter; if it still has the bug, I'll try the latest trunk. Last time I only tried up to 24.1 IIRC. The problem is also that the bug doesn't seem to appear on the first run, so I might possibly have to wait a couple of days to report back to you.

No hurry, thanks for testing,

My 24.2 has been running without this bug since Sept 10 now. So I assume it can be considered as resolved :)
