I have been using Illustrator for many years and I must have turned on/off something, every object, line, text etc. are in highlighted in red line, even when it's not been selected. When selecting an object the red color becomes bolder and can move objects, however, when I use bring to front or send to back it doesn't do anything t

he object remains in the same place, as if it is in outline mode. I've have tried turning on and off the outline mode, preview mode etc. and still doesn't make any difference. Please help me sort out this issue, I have too many designs to make these days. thanks all

THere is a red line even when the object is not selected?

 

Are you sure that you haven't applied a line at group level or layer level? Check Window > Appearance for that.

Hello @Captivating_Diamond4264,

I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you're having with Illustrator. It seems the screenshots/images did not get attached.
Could you confirm the exact version of the OS/Illustrator installed and share screenshots or a screen recording of the problem so we can better assist you?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Can you see the image?  the selected the object, it shouldn't have any outline, and cannot send it to back.
