Research direction
Start by reproducing the report on Windows 7 with Notepad++ v8 through v8.6.4 while moving and focusing the window, in both dark and light modes. Observe whether the black screen flashes and caret movement occur; done means identifying the affected area and preventing both artefacts without regressing window focus or movement.
