Type Tool Flicker
Specs:
InDesign CC2018 (13.1)
Mac Pro Late 2013
Mac OS Mojave (10.14.3)
64 GB RAM
AMD FirePro D300 2048 MB
Any document when first opened will blink the document window (not the entire screen - just the document) when clicking into a frame with the Type tool.
It occurs one time only then the remainder of work on that document is fine.
Open another document, issue reoccurs.
Double-clicking a text frame with the Selection tool will not blink and take you into the text frame without issue.
I've reset ID Prefs, removed all third party plugins and zapped my PRAM just in case.
InDesign does not have GPU turned on (unavailable due to incompatible monitor/chip)
Tried on multiple Macs - including Macbook Pro and newest Mac Mini. Same results.

Update - CC2019 confirms it is an issue with the GPU settings in InDesign.
In CC2019, if I turn off the GPU and the blink is there. With it on, it resolves.
What is preventing GPU from being an option given the specs shown above?
Reading all the internal documentation, it appears I need a hiDPI monitor for CC2018 to enable GPU?
