It is not a bug in that I do not see it in my Office 2021.
What is your Office theme?
Are you seeing this in any non-office programs?
The black bars are the spaces for you to type which should ordinarily show the current state.

Have you tried a repair?

Hello! thx for your reply, I tried repair but it's not helping.

My office theme it's colorful, I tried to change it and the black bar still there. And I not seeing this in other apps, just in office.
I used Office 2016 before and not encounter this problem, only when I installed office 2021.

any other advice that I can try? Thanks in advance.
