What the grey box looks like

I can't recall when this started. It does not occur in the Linux version.

Create a Writer file and save it somewhere so you know the path/filename.
Insert
 Header and Footer
   Select Footer
     Default style
Insert
 Field
   More fields ..
    Path/Filename

A grey box containing the text "File name" appears onscreen. This is not the same as in the Linux version where the correct path/filename appears.

The path/filename appears correctly if the document is print previewed or printed.

Please have a look at Tools => Options = LibreOffice Writer => View => Display
I assume, that "Field Codes" is enabled. Should work, if you disable it.
Does this solve your problem?

Thank you Dieter. Disabling it does indeed mean the pat/filename is shown.
Interestingly enough, it was already disabled in the Linux version - the difference is a bit bizarre.
