I am having a similar problem but not with an Apple display and at a resolution
of 1920 x 1080 and not with stroking a path. My problem occurs with textfield
rendering when the fields abut one another. Sometimes the edges do not line up
even when they are configured to do so in IB.
(I'm staying in Snow Leopard using Xcode 3; I hate Lion and it's move away from
the mouse. I suffer from familial tremors and have a tough enough time with the
mouse and find the gesture pad impossible. I will stay on Snow Leopard until I
am forced to a new machine. Needless to say I program as a hobby - just for my
own enjoyment)
At any rate I believe the problem is with the graphics chip and its ability to
consistently activate pixels in close proximity when not drawn with a single
stroke. I know of no solution except to adjust the placement of your drawn
objects to minimize the effect.
Changing monitors or resolution, I think, will not address the problem. A
different, perhaps "better" graphics card might.
