This is my first post, so hello everyone.
I've posted about this couple times on Apple forums but there's never any response. It also seem to be no information anywhere on this topic although I know this problem is real.
Whenever I use a brush based tool in Photoshop (brush, clone stamp etc that display brush ooutline) there is 50% change that my screen will flash to black for a split second. Not the program window – whole screen. It is nerve wracking. Although it can happen randomly there is a bigger chance that it will occur while the cursor changes eg. when I move my cursor to some panel and cursor change from brush to an arrow. Disabling full size brush makes the problem go away but I need to keep that option. What I've been told on Adobe forums is to disable GPU acceleration but this does nothing. It also happens in Indesign when placing and image in a document (when an image thumbnail is displayed next to the cursor).
This occurs sometimes in web browser (both Safari and Chrome) when website uses custom cursor.
Here are two videos with the problem (it doesn't register on screen recorder hence mobile video).

My spec:
iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, Late 2015)
3,3 GHz Intel Core i7
Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200 1536 MB
MacOS 10.14.5
Photoshop 19.1.5
System and Photoshop versions don't matter, it's been going on for a long time.
Really hope someone can help. Thanks.
