I'm guessing about that "black bar below file1" -- I have no black bars,
and the highlighting rather strongly depends on what colorscheme you've
selected -- my guess is you're talking about the vertical spacing
between characters. That space is "owned" by some character cell, and
is not differentiable from the character. Alternative guess: you're
referring to the separator between windows. A click on the window
separator does have the effect you mention so long as the window isn't
full (pick a directory with enough files to fill the display and try
this); however, there's nothing that I can see that vim returns to let
me differentiate between a click on the window separator vs a click on
the file below the cursor.

You can, by the way, turn netrw mouse handling off (see :help
g:netrw_mousemaps).
