Confirming with

Version: 6.1.3.4 LO Vanilla
Build ID: 15843ed45a7b807506f7cf3529f9e15dd77e4b8b
Threads CPU : 4; OS : Mac OS X 10.14.1; UI Render : par défaut;
Locale : fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); Calc: group threaded

1) Open a Writer document.

2) Under Preferences - Formatting Aids, activate the direct cursor, leaving the
default "insert spaces" radio button selected.

3) Close the Preferences dialog clicking on OK.

4) Now click on the Writer page in several different pages, including in the
Footer area.

5) At some stage, the document will scroll and a black background will be
displayed that covers/replaces the document display.

No repro with

Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 8ec5c249fc40fb80d2a00e54a0bd76451dbc6477
CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.14.1; UI render: default; VCL: osx;
Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

So, given comment 1 with regard to LO6.2beta1, and my own testing with
LODev63alpha, marking as RESOLVED WFM, as we don't know the commit that fixed
this. It would be nice if it could be found and backported to 6.1 though.
