Weird inverted colors on MBP screen

My new macbook pro running high sierra gets in to a strange flashing inverted color state.


I can reproduce it consistently.

1) turn on accessibility zoom, and zoom in to a part of the screen.

2) close the laptop

3) Open the laptop

4) sign in with my password

5) zoom back out to see the full screen.

It flashes back and forth until I close and open my laptop again.


It would be great to fix this.

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3)
