Just had a quick look at two old projects and one new one on my MBP OSX 10.8.4 with DP8.04 running in 64 bit - no video glitches at all on my system; can't replicate what you are getting.

There have been teething problems with graphics using the retina MBP, especially using the HDMI output.

I'm getting this too. Not using Retina or HDMI.

Here's the pict of the problem. In the Consolidated Window, the mixer won't pop out (or seems not to) with Ctl-1. I can drag it out at the top of the mixer and get the image (below) and closing the window with Shift-m crashes DP. Trés annoying...

Some luck with this (mixer at any rate) by changing the preferences in DP to NOT open the mixer in the CW. First I hit the little x to remove it from the CW (also same with the CHannel Strip). The I went to the preferences and removed it from the "open in CW list" and quit DP to save the new plist. Now, at least i can open the mixer in my second monitor w/o a crash.

I wonder if it has anything to do with multiple monitors...? Hmmm...

Also just noticed Auto-Sacve was on. I have always kept it off. Maybe nothing, but I NEVER trust auto-save on any app. Just sayin'

Ctl-1 has stopped working on both my Macs to pop out windows too, although it is listed in the Commands window. I notice that if you delete the Ctl-1 command from the Commands window, it cannot be put back in, probably because it is the same command OS 10.8.4 uses switch Spaces. But double clicking the empty space beside the tabs does work.

I'm getting none of the graphic glitches, so they could be related to different graphics hardware in different Macs.
