Screen flashes red when changing tabs or loading content in general all over the OS

MacBook Pro 16" 2019
Sonoma 14.1.2

I've had this problem ever since "upgrading" to Sonoma: when switching to a new tab in Safari or a new window or app, the content being loaded will often flash solid red for a moment. Strangely, it doesn't show up on screen recordings so I made a video with my phone instead.

It's super jarring and annoying, and the last update hasn't fixed it either.

I'm not seeing much talk about this issue, is anyone else seeing this?

I just upgraded from Ventura to Sonoma (14.2) and have the same thing. There is often a brief flash of red/pink in the Safari window when first switching to a tab that was opened in the background.

Also seeing this, same laptop.

I think all our Macs have AMD GPUs (in my case, an AMD Vega eGPU with a Mac Mini). It could be a dodgy updated graphics driver Apple has shipped in Sonoma.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone running with an Intel integrated GPU or Apple Silicon has seen this.

I have this bug too with the same 16" 2019 MBP.
It only happens with the AMD GPU i was unable to reproduce the bug with the integrated intel.

Also i submited the bug on the feedback assistant with all the details, all the things i tried, in what situations this happens, pictures etc.

This was more than a month ago and well nothing has changed. So guys, if you can report the same bug for them to see this is a common bug.

I have the same bug. Same Macbook Pro 16" 2019 - Sonoma 14.3 Beta - AMD GPU.

I have the same annoying red flash bug, which started after the upgrade from Ventura to Sonoma, with the iMac 2020, Intel, 27-inch.

Exact same issue! I was surprised more people weren't talking about this. Same machine (16" Intel MBP).

I'm guessing it's a problem specific to certain Intel machines, which is why more people aren't up in arms about it.

None of the latest updates have fixed it. It's super annoying.

Still happening in Sonoma 14.3

I don't know why I haven't tried Googling this before.

Same issue, 2018 Mac Mini (Sonoma 14.4) with AMD RX 580 eGPU.

Has anyone tried MacOs Sequoia to see if this is fixed?
