Not sure if this is the right place for a bug report, if not could anyone direct me to the right place please.

Clicking develop module at top right from the Library module opens the photo with film strip and both side bars black empty spaces. Initial few times I had to quit and restart Lightroom but then discovered switching to grid view again and develop keyboard short cut, everything comes back.

I am fairly certain I've had it happen when I'm not in full screen mode as well, but I will definitely test that theory! Thanks!

I have same problem, I believe it is happening when you are working in full screen mode only.

I had it in the previous version as well and have it with the latest update too...I am wondering why it is still not fixed as it seems to be an old problem.

I had to uninstall and reinstall for it to finally show. Seemed to fix the issue...for now.

I suspect that Adobe is putting very few resources into fixing this because it only seems to effect those with older versions of OSX and most machines have been updated to Sierra.  In other words,  it's a business decision.   They obviously figure that it is more profitable to focus their programming resources elsewhere.   Maybe there is some other explanation, but so far, I have yet to see them even attempt to tell us why its taking so long.  Educate me if I am wrong.

Amelia, in your Creative Cloud App - press [Cmd]+[Opt]+[R] and allow the App to refresh. Does the CC2015.12 update show now?

Sierra 10.12.5 | Lightroom 2015.9
This has been a recurring issue for me. Almost anything I do in Lightroom causes these black strips to happen and I am basically unable to do any work. I am considering cancelling my CC subscription. I also looked into seeing if there was a newer update for Lightroom and it appears there is, but my CC app is not showing it. Says everything is up-to-date.

I had been in LR2015.10 but couldn't get any work done so after a while had to roll back to 2015.6 . I have not seen any confirmation that 2015.12 fixes the problem for El Capitan.
