Bug: Move section of analysis board isn't redrawn on Safari

When using Safari on macOS, the move section of the analysis board is invisible and only gradually redrawn when the mouse pointer is moved over this section. This bug has existed for years and should be 100% reproducible with any recent macOS and Safari version.
Only a closer investigation can tell. If this turns out to be a Safari bug, it would be great if lichess could implement a workaround.
Let me fix that for you:

If this turns out to be a Safari bug, it would be great if Safari would fix its bug.

Note: it Is a Safari bug. I know because modern browsers run the same page without any issue.
I've been doing web development for many years now...

In my experience, Safari is not very far from claiming the (infamous) reputation of being the new IE6. I still remember the days when entire screens of custom code had to be written just to make a web page show properly in IE6. And Safari is proudly following in those footsteps... :(

So @superunknown , do yourself a favor and use a proper browser. Just because Safari comes as default on Apple devices doesn't make it good or even decent. Just my 2c.
@superunknown -- The browser of your choice:
(1) is not "major" by any definition (~5% of market share vs. >60%+ for Chrome);
(2) is buggy and ignores/misinterprets properly written JS and CSS code

So, while you are free to choose any browser you want + expect whatever you want from it, that doesn't mean your expectations will be met. Imho, the Lichess developers would much better spend their time & energy improving the platform in various other ways than debugging a buggy browser.

Now, you were advised by @thibault to report the bugs you are experiencing to Safari. I advised you to use a different browser. Of course, you're absolutely free to follow those pieces of advice or ignore them.

Enjoy! :)
On the Mac I suggest using the Chrome browser for LiChess. Not only will you not have that issue, the local computer analysis is *much* faster (more than twice as fast).

Lichess is the only thing I use Chrome for.
