Non-existent / Missing Middle Transform Handles Why is this still a thing?

I've lost track of the number of years where this has been broken. 
I cannot understand why is this still an issue.

 

What's so hard about including the middle transform handles regardless of zoom level? I've been using Illustrator since Illustrator 6 and it was never an issue until a few years back. Unbelievable. 

Please look at the attached. Are you telling me there's not enough space to for a middle handle to appear on the right side? Seriously?

Thank you, I just went there, turns out this has been broken for so long I forgot I already voted and commented there too. Hopefully this new post will get new eyes and votes over there to fix a 5+ year old bug.
