Hi @imani3011 and thanks for the report!

It seems this is no longer necessary due to declining Internet Explorer use. I did notice the black box when using the IE8 emulator, but not with IE11 (which is still supported). It likely started to fail when ​WordPress discontinued older IE support in 4.8.

Unless you see the problem in a more modern browser or another situation, I recommend closing this ticket.
