I originally sent this as an email, but seeing as how there’s a forum now and this issue is still persisting, I figured I’d post it on the forums! Maybe somebody else is experiencing this. Or maybe I’m the only one. Who knows. Worth a shot!
The short version of this issue is that on AMD graphics cards (or mine at least, which is AMD), there has been corruption in the UI since at the very least Catalyst 12.11 Beta 11. Screenshots can explain what I mean by this better than words ever could, so here are two of them.
Your forum won’t let me make a post with screenshots, so I’ve uploaded two different screenshots of this issue to a Google Drive folder:

My basic system specs:
Windows 8 Pro 64-bit
Intel Core i7 920 “Bloomfield” @ 2.66GHz/core (4-core)
6GB of RAM
2GB AMD Radeon HD7870 GHz Edition video card
do you see this issue with the latest stable catalyst release as well?
It does. Just reverted to the 13.1 WHQL drivers to check.
I’m curious if you see similar artefacts on Internet Explorer 10. Could you try out some of the Demos on this site and see if there are similar corruptions?
None of them display corruption, but two of them don’t work as intended in Internet Explore 10 - the Painting and Alphamask Filter demos, but that’s probably irrelevant.
Just wanted to provide an update. Two actually!
This issue doesn’t seem to appear in your Windows demo, so whatever was (yup, see second update!) causing it appears to have been limited to Modern UI apps.
Secondly, the 13.5 Catalyst Beta drivers released yesterday appear to have fixed whatever was causing this. There are still some minor issues, such as brief flickering and a white pixel in the middle of the office floor, but I’m leaning toward that also being driver issues and those aren’t nearly as distracting.
Keep up the great work, guys. I’m looking forward to the desktop release!
