Great update. I'm happy that they have addressed some Safari issues.

I noticed that in the release notes. Ever since Safari 6 came out, I've been having a problem with display errors. I have a late 2010 MBP, and it only occurs on that computer and when on the Intel graphics. On sites would manipulate the DOM in certain ways (expanding/hiding comments in Reddit, new fields appearing when you fill out existing fields in some sites) you could see things transition but at the end of the update/animation a rectangle of old content would still display. It was some sort of rendering GPU bug, and it was horribly obnoxious. Reddit was where I noticed it most. Once it happened, re-opening/closing the comment wouldn't do anything because OS X/Safari seemed to cache the result. The only fix was to either switch to the nVidia GPU or to zoom the page in a little bit (to force a re-render) then back out. But I installed the update a short while ago and I haven't seen it yet. I hope it's fixed, I was starting to consider switching browsers. Too bad Safari's inspector is still the same terrible one they introduced in 6 and not the good was that was in 5 (and is still in Chrome). I don't know why they decided to change it but it's terrible.

  So that’s what that was, it drove me crazy! I would workaround it by selecting all or a quick page scroll down/back up. Just tested a bunch of many-replied reddit comment threads to great success! It’s the little things :-)

  Safari 6 greatly improved the remote web inspection capabilities for iOS6.

    The new inspection is quite powerful, I just find the interface inscrutable.

  > But I installed the update a short while ago and I haven't seen it yet I have the same issue, also only on Intel graphics, but it would only manifest itself after a sleep/wake cycle. So try that. I'll try installing this update too, I hope it fixes it.

    Maybe that's why I haven't seen it yet. My laptop usually has uptimes measured in weeks, but gets suspended multiple times a day.

My favorite part of this update: "Fix for an issue in Messages that may cause messages to appear out of order after waking from sleep"

  At least one of the million things wrong with Messages has been fixed. That app is awful.

Incidentally they also fixed the retina fan issue today: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1559 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1559

Wonder if they fixed the lack of audio over HDMI/DisplayPort. Or the Calendar bug that causes alarms not to go off if the event duration is zero (as in any simple reminder you set).
