Frame Edge not Aligned to Object

Can't figure out why my basic shapes have the frame edge / handles clear off to the right, instead of around the perimeter of the shape. Every time I draw a new shape, it does the same thing. The objects are not grouped to anything. Screenshot below. Help!

    There have been real issues with the bounding box and some are caused by effects (as already menitioned)

    Can you check if there is a Transform effect applied to te object or the layer?

    See the Appearance panel.
